Pence heading back to Indiana hometown after Biden inaugural

Vice President Mike Pence will be returning to his southern Indiana hometown Wednesday afternoon following the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. The Republican former Indiana governor and his wife Karen are expected to attend Biden’s inauguration and will then fly into the Columbus Municipal Airport, where they will be greeted by some supporters, the Indiana Republican Party said Tuesday.

That group of about 50 people is expected to include Pence’s brother, U.S. Rep. Greg Pence, and some state lawmakers, said Barbara Hackman, the Bartholomew County Republican chairwoman.

Pence grew up in Columbus and some family members still live there. But Pence hasn’t owned an Indiana home for at least the past eight years, during which time he lived in the Indiana governor’s residence in Indianapolis and then at the vice presidential residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington.

Pence hasn’t announced where he plans to live during his post-vice presidency. “I don’t know how long he’s going to be here,” Hackman said. “I just know that he’s coming.”

This is the opening paragraph of Pence's Wikipedia entry:

Michael Richard Pence (born June 7, 1959) is an American politician serving as the 48th and current vice president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, Pence was the 50th governor of Indiana from 2013 to 2017 and served six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2001 to 2013.


That's an impressive resume and if you didn't know how Pence is a complete jackass, you might be impressed by his accomplishments.

As far as I care, Pence can take his "mother" and go home to Indiana. I have a feeling we won't be hearing much from him any more.

was he allowed to vote if he didn’t actually have a residence in Indiana or any other state. I would not think the governor’s residence would be considered his home since he was no longer the governor. Was he using a relatives address? I think that should be illegal using a relatives address unless you actually have been living there and registered to vote there. Couldn’t be using the vice-president residence as his voting address could he? Don’t think so.
