I seem to recall the “media” making a big deal of HW Bush using a Houston office as his stated residence. But I guess with Dems, there’s nothing to see. Move on, peasant.

“He’s shacking up with his girlfriend in the next district. hahaha”

That is the best framing of the issue I have seen. It humorously and succinctly describes his character.

“I blame the Republican Party for this debacle”

I totally agree. Don’t call Repubs stupid for no reason, now do they? Dumb as rocks here.

Who has a Georgia ping list? This is a primary, very low turnout. If the stupid GOP in GA can get LOTS of people out to vote today, it’s a no 50% deal for the dem.

Also, Osoff is a friend of Hank Guam will tip over Johnson and that nifty fellow John Lewis. Two of the three brightest bulbs in the Dem Reps.... that includes Maxine Waters.

Come ON folks. Call anyone you know in that district and encourage them to get out to vote and take their likeminded friends and neighbors.

Get er done.

Boy...... THAT SUMS IT UP. Fine upstanding candidate. Doesn’t live in district, shacking up.

It’s like Bill Clinton saying it was OK for him to have Sex with Monica because his wife was just upstairs.

Notice how the Rat blames his Girlfriend because she isn’t going to Medical School in the District?

I guess it’s OK because he doesn’t think she was worth Marrying or they just cohabitate so he won’t be stuck with paying her Tuition.

Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states:

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

He meets the legal criteria. Political tradition, not law dictates House members living (or at least being from) their district. There are exceptions, but most do.

Unfortunately, I don't think this will be an issue as he has family/roots in the district. But I don't think he gets near 50%+1 and he is likely to lose the run off.

Ossoff lived in DC area while working on those committees he boasts of in his ads. It would be interesting to see if he voted in DC, MD, or VA and not in GA during that time. Did he vote for Terry McAuliffe?

He did not live in the 6th District when he grew up. eg Newt and never his family’s congressman.

There is no law or rule that you have to live in the district you represent.

How does he qualify to run there?

He's over 25, has been a citizen for more than seven years, and lives in Georgia.

Remember there was a lot of press a few weeks ago about Hillary running for Mayor of NYC. Of course, she doesn’t live anywhere near there, but the press thought that would be great.

Yes I understand. And in my opinion it’s right exactly zero percent of the time.
