College students dominate that county when classes are in session. Pretty much corn fields and a huge college campus.

I used to live in Shelbyville not far from there many many years ago.

He didn't win the congressional districts they are part of. Urbana is partly in the 13th and the 15th. The 13th covers 14 different counties. and the 15th covers 33 counties.
