In light red are the counties with a population of less than 100,000 that voted Republican, in dark red countries that voted Republican with a population of over 100,000.

The light blue shows the counties with a population of less than 100,000 that voted Democrat, and in dark blue counties that voted Democrat with a population of over 100,000,

What do we see?

Lots of dark blue and light red, showing bigger counties overwhelmingly vote Democrat and smaller ones vote Republican.

It restates the extent to which the electoral college is skewed in favour of rural voting areas, and therefore Republicans.
