>I think the results of the election highlight this very well. In the critical "mail-in" states, the difference in the Presidential election was made by the large urban populations. In the House and Senate, local preferences were more strongly favored.
The part about the Senate doesn't make any sense to me: voting for the Senate works exactly the same way as voting for the Presidency in most states - it's a winner-take-all plurality vote on a statewide basis.

Whoops, I wrote one thing while thinking the other. IIRC, the Democrats picked up a seat, which does seem to follow the statewide popular voting vs. regional voting. Good catch!
