NYC had ~500k Trump voters, whereas Alabama had 1.3M Trump voters and ~2M voters in total.

- ebikelaw 9y agoYup you are right. I did not mean to say "New York City" in the second case, I meant to just say "New York" the state, in which 2.8M people voted for Trump.
- CydeWeys 9y agoWhat's the point of the comparison though? New York state has over 4X the population of Alabama, and the rural areas of NY are just as you'd expect them to be.
