“The Congressional races are settled in many rural districts.”
That’s a good point, but the representatives are roughly in proportion to the population; in NJ our rural districts are huge (and often Republican) but they can be offset with a few major urban toilets.

This is true of most states. Congress gets a few rural (usually more conservative) representatives. With the state wide election of Senators, you usually end up with liberals elected primarily by the cities.
