In most cities the vote was split more evenly between the candidates, whereas Bush won overwhelmingly in the rural areas. But my point was that most states do not split their electoral vote but give it to a candidate as a whole. Most of their citizens live in urban areas, especially in the states with a large number of electoral votes. If these urban areas where to vote as a block they would easily overtake the rural areas. If an issue galvanized the rural and urban areas, the vote would favor the urbanites.
