Almost exactly 50 50. Yet out of the eight House seats, we have two democratic and six Republican. Clearly, there's some gerrymandering going on. So my district is very democratic. I think I get 69 or 70% of the vote [in my district]. And, you know, granted, I work it and I go around the district to try to earn that vote, but that gives me plenty of surplus that, quite honestly, Republicans have gerrymandered to make fewer districts democratic.
