She can’t represent Georgia if she is a resident of TN.
When does this get taken to court?

I don't think a court can do anything.

Article I Section 1 says "Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members... Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member."

It's unclear if the House can simply declare the candidate unqualified by a simple majority vote, or if they must get two-thirds to expel. I'd think that expulsion is for unethical behavior, but unqualified is by simple majority.

However, would Nancy Pelosi allow such a vote or would she be willing to accept the bad press that would come from rebuffing a Georgia delegation's request to oust the Tennessean from their delegation?

First, I'd think that the Georgia delegation must declare their intention to vacate that seat. Would they step up and do that?
