It does?  I don't have time to look it up now, but if you take say Montana
v. Georgia, which one is denser and which one is more Democratic?  Ditto
Colorado v. Virginia.  I think historically it might have been true, but the
political winds are changing.  The most reactionary area I have recently set
foot in is up-state NY (sorry).  Rustbelt reactionism is very strong and of
a particularly ugly sort.

Anyway, it is kind of pointless to use Democratic voters as a means to
measure true progressive politics.  The most reactionary area I have
recently set foot in is up-state NY (sorry).  Rustbelt reactionism is very
strong and of a particularly ugly sort.  What I said about Arizona was based
more on what I would mean by progressive v. conservative, whereby Mass is
much more liberal-conservative than Arizona.
