Barack Obama swept the district in 2008 and 2012, with 57% of the vote each time. Hillary Clinton won the district with 52% in 2016, with a diminished, but still large, margin.
The two new seats were elected as statewide at-large, with each voter casting ballots for three congressional seats, their district and two at-large. After that election, the state was reapportioned to five districts for the 1914 election. The state's 6th district was added after the 1930 census and first contested in the 1932 election.
