Can someone explain this?
I don't understand how so much red still means that blue wins the state. Is it the population that matters most? They don't count the counties won? I would think to be fair, each state will be broken down by the counties being the deciding factor, much like how we have the electoral votes, otherwise, we got the cities making all the decisions.
This is Nevada. Biden is leading this too. I don't undertand this either. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/...
my reasoning for this questions is, if the country is separated by states, which counts the electoral votes, then why isn't each state modeled the same way, the state (compared as the country) and the counties (compared as states)?

Most blue places are very big, populated cities. While the red states are usually divided, small cities & towns. Take for example, my state, Kansas. The capital of Kansas, Topeka has over 100,000+ people in it, it went very blue and that’s how we got almost 50% blue. The rest of Kansas is all red. Most towns and cities in Kansas have less than 10,000 people, they tend to go for red.

If that were the case, then a rural county with 10,000 people would get the same credit as Orange County California with 3.1 million people.

Yes, it is down to population. Cities have higher density populations, while rural areas have less. The counties make up the state and the state is taken as a whole.
