Democrats seeking to win in a state that has leaned Republican in recent elections face the task of persuading voters who previously backed the GOP, including rural residents. That is an electoral challenge, not a prediction that those voters will switch. Past voting patterns provide context without deciding the next result in advance.

Rural voters are consequently receiving the recurring honor of being called pivotal, a distinction that arrives with intense attention and, presumably, a substantial increase in campaign literature.
