Rural usually means low population vs. urban.

Is Alabama a winner-take-all or more like an electoral college system?

It’s strictly a popular vote winner for this race... I was the 70th voter at my precinct, 20 minutes after the polls opened - with another 25 or so in line behind me.

I did see quite a few African-Americans in line, which is fairly unusual for the precinct. My county went 73% for Trump in 2016.

Other precincts I passed on the way into work (2 of them) were obviously very busy as well.

essentially, all elections in this country are winner-take-all, excepting for the Presidency.
