    It’s definitely not a clear cut rule, but generally places with higher population density vote more blue

    Data from 2020 here: https://engaging-data.com/election-population-density/

    I’m interested in how this is changing, my understanding is that many rural areas were more liberal historically.

      Yeah it is generally higher population density means more progressive. Maine is just weird. Even historically. Historically very pro-abolition, also pretty pro-women’s suffrage, also very pro-prohibition. However the state also didn’t start voting democrat till around the 60s or 70s. Fairly early legalizers of marijuana and also fairly quick for gay marriage.
