It would be interesting to compare the 100 counties here with their population densities. Lake County, the most red county Oregon, has less than one resident per square mile.

I wouldn't worry about the massive rural counties hosting a few thousand unanimous Trump voters. I'd worry about the purple counties in heavily populated areas where there are millions.

Here is my response about New Mexico from another reply:

The blue is Santa Fe County, which is the 3rd most populated county in the state, having just over a quarter of the population of Bernallio County, home of Albuquerque, Bernallio County is also over 7 times more densely populated.

The red is Lea county, one of our Texas wanna be counties. It is the 7th most populated county, but is the 9th most densely populated county (of 33 total). Its most populated city is over twice the population of my entire county.

Yes, I saw it the first time you replied to me with it. It's about 200 pixels below this one on my screen.

Wyoming County in New York is pretty much that. Mostly farms with small towns. They're the kind of folks who'd call the sheriff if they saw a black person driving through town.
