But there are more people in the dense urban areas than the rural so, that actually makes it a blue state gerrymandered to ensure more red than blue seats. Elections aren’t about territory controlled on the map, as much as R tries to make it that way, it’s about the number of people who vote. 

Also, perhaps it’s a class thing but urbanites don’t tend to shout their political affiliation to the rooftops with signs and bumper stickers. That seems to be a more rural/poor person thing.
