I saw today that Walker is claiming Texas as his home and full time residence. Doesn't that mean he can't run for Senate in another state? Curious.

Article I, Section 3, Clause 3:

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

From here:

Inhabitancy: Although England repealed Parliament's residency law in 1774, no delegates spoke against a residency requirement for members of Congress. The qualification first came under consideration on August 6, when the Committee of Detail reported its draft of the Constitution. Article 5, section 3 of that draft stated, "Every member of the Senate shall be . . . at the time of his election, a resident of the state from which he shall be chosen."

On August 8 Connecticut's Roger Sherman moved to strike the word "resident" from the language dealing with requirements for members of the House and insert in its place "inhabitant," a term he considered to be "less liable to misconstruction." Madison seconded the motion, noting that "resident" might exclude people occasionally absent on public or private business. Delegates agreed to the term "inhabitant" and voted against adding a time period to the requirement. The following day, they amended the Senate qualification to include the word "inhabitant" prior to passing the clause by unanimous consent.

Texas gave Walker lifetime residency plus anything else he asks for as thanks for the Great Cowboy/Viking Ripoff.

Thank you, Simon Rosenberg, via Vox, for the explainer. Handy, you or someone cited him as a voice cautioning against any red wave, much less a big one. Too bad the narrative might have cost us the House.

Simon was way out in front because he talked to actual pollsters not people who interpret them or aggregate them. He saw the flaw in what Nate and Cook Report were doing...

When it became clear after EN that the wave wasn't happening the media started to ask people like him how the narrative got so messed up. Someone put it this way:

"pollsters asked respondents if crime was a major factor and they said yes. The pundits stopped reading right there. The pollsters followed up though asking who was to blame and it was rarely Biden or the Dems and that was also the case for inflation and gas prices."

Also lots of anecdotal stories about how if pundits talked to conservative women they never asked them the abortion question...

It was either laziness or trying to force a narrative so badly it bordered on malpractice. It's why I argue against stuff like 538...it leaves the context out. Stats show Bidens approval rating sucks yet he had an amazing midterms and no one seems keen on replacing him with a GOPer. There are mitigating factors at play that get lost in the analytics. Same held true for Trump...polls can't really express the "Cult of Personality " he had which is why despite his dismal numbers in polling he overperformed. You need more info...

As for The House...they lost it cause NY went sideways both because of the Court ruling and bad choices.
 
Luzerne county in AZ votes to not certify election results today.

elias incoming with the suit
 
Aren't these counties Kari Lake won? What is the point to just delay because Maricopa certified it's over.
 
Meanwhile Walker says no one under 32 should be allowed to vote and peaceful protests should not be allowed after 5pm...what the actual fuck?!
