This is a pithy retort, but it does raise a disturbing question.
Why do Republicans dominate in smaller and more rural states?
because rural areas correlate with less educated populations, and people who have less education tend to vote Republican.
Huntsville, Alabama is one of the reddest corners of the reddest states in the country. It has the highest per capita populations of rocket scientists in the world.
Huntsville imported 1000+ Nazi scientists to work on rockets in the 50's. That may explain the outlier.
Excellent point.
