There are very few states where the rural vote "dominates" anything.  Just as Democrats use the phrase "land doesn't vote!" about a state with a bunch of Republican counties, the inverse is somewhat true, as well: Republicans don't get most of their votes from those counties.  Republicans usually win a state by ~dominating~ rural counties (with not NEARLY enough votes to win the state), winning rather large exurban/outer suburban counties, keeping it close/winning inner suburban counties and getting quite a few votes from big urban counties even as they lose them by large margins.

With the possible exception of West Virginia, I doubt there are any states where the Republican coalition is majority rural, and there are likely only a handful where it is plurality rural.

Texas is an underrated example for rural vote. The land west of the I-35 corridor and north of RGV are some of the most conservative areas in the nation.

Rural voters are like under 15% of voters in every TX exit poll, IIRC.

^ Easier than compiling data and calculating it, let alone educating myself on each metro county in TX?  Lol.  Either way, rural voters don’t “dominate” anything in Texas.
