The national urban / rural split is even worse.

“Republicans hold 88 of the nation’s 100 most rural congressional districts”

and

“Democrats hold 87 of the nation’s 100 most urban districts”

and

“(Hillary) Clinton carried 88 out of the nation’s 100 most populous counties and beat President Donald J. Trump by almost 13 million votes in these counties.”

and

“the 88th Congress contained 103 “urban” seats, 50 “suburban” seats, 203 “rural” seats and 79 in the “mixed” category.”

one of the things not talked about is the fact that in the census everyone is counted when figuring out how many reps a state gets. if illegals and other non resident people were not used to figure representation of a state there was in the house would they be able to control congress.
