密歇根新闻广播 2016年民主党在这三个地区能翻盘吗?（在线收听）

Can Democrats flip three Michigan districts in the 2016 election?

Nancy Kaffer tackled that question in her recent column for the Detroit Free Press.

In her column, Kaffer looked at the 1st, 7th, and 8th Congressional districts in Michigan. Voters in each of those districts elected Republicans in the last election, "by pretty narrow margins."

But Kaffer says presidential years tend to see greater Democratic voter turnout. With three Democratic candidates running for these seats, "all of whom have … the ability to raise the kind of money it takes to get a

Congressional seat," she reasons it's not out of the realm of possibility that we might see the three districts flip next year.
