6. Personally I think the residents of a newly created district have
every right to seek out a candidate they like and ask them to relocate. In 'carpetbagging' the constituents do not ask for the politician to come there to run, when voters ask, that is call democracy, they get to pick their candidate. A brand new district.
I don't see the problem at all. Of course, the State Party might have someone they want to impose on the people, their own selected candidate. To that I say, so what? They can run a primary, correct?
