To create a choropleth map that shows differences in the voting tendencies of rural and urban areas, a researcher would most effectively use a political map showing county boundaries. This type of map will allow the researcher to analyze and display data at a granular level that distinguishes between rural and urban areas within counties, highlighting the voting trends clearly.
