Um, the elect have to be Christians, and since they are Christians, the Holy Spirit lives inside of them and changes them.

You can't be a "bad" person (i.e. non-Christian if I think that is what you are getting at) and be elect.

Define "BAD"

Um, the elect have to be Christians, and since they are Christians, the Holy Spirit lives inside of them and changes them.

Again, a completely circular argument. Furthermore, it limits what God can and cannot do. What makes you think that God cannot make someone elect, make them a Christian and at the same time make them an evil sinner? God's will is always done, right?

You can't be a "bad" person (i.e. non-Christian if I think that is what you are getting at) and be elect.

Why not? Isn't it up to God to decide who is and isn't elected?
