Estimate, not a count. Results are reported by county, so each county's votes (for a House district, its part of each county) are split by its urban and rural population in the 2020 Census, then shifted by how much better each party ran in more urban counties in the state's biggest statewide race. Assumes turnout follows population. The Census counts suburbs as urban.
