In reply to the discussion: Is there hope in GA 6 or is it done? [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)56. I know. Easy to say. Not the same as actually living there.
It makes a difference, when every difference matters.
I read that his reasons changed. But whatever the reason, it's important that a candidate live in the area he wants to represent. If it's important to live where his wife wants to, who is to say he would move to the district later, if it wife wanted to live elsewhere? Maybe she gets a job in another district and wants to walk to work. It's clear he puts his wife's needs above the needs of those who live in the district he wants to represent.
It's a bigger deal to some people than to others.

She's now ahead by almost 10,000. 53% vs 47% Ossoff. 66% reporting. Unlikely he'll win. nt
