I live about a mile from the border and Elison is my congressman. He usually gets over 75% of the vote. If you combined the the fifth and the sixth the majority would be Democratic. If they get a good candidate the seat could be won, but it's an uphill battle and it seems like the only hope is that the incumbment really screws up. It's one of the worst gerrymandered districts in the country.
