The media keeps telling us that Mr. Hoffman does not live in the district.
While not being a Constitutional expert, I seem to remember that you actually do have to have a permenant residence in the congressional district you are trying to represent. Thus, how can Hoffman win?

Am I missing something here?
There is no requirement in some states that a person actually live in that district.
ReplyDeleteMaryland, for example, allows people to run in a Congressional district where they do not live.
That is up to the states, and varies with jurisdiction.
