After redistricting, Michele Bachmann no longer lives in the Sixth Congressional District. No problem: she’s going to run for Congress in the Sixth again anyway. The law doesn’t say you have to live in the district you represent in Congress. (Who knew?)
Since she spent months claiming and proclaiming her Iowa roots, maybe she could run for Congress there? Oh, wait — even Iowa’s Republicans weren’t crazy about her. And she’d have to move, at least by November, since the U.S. Constitution requires that a member of Congress must “when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”
Redistricting didn’t do much to the rest of Minnesota’s congressional delegation, but the legislature is a different story. Some erstwhile allies are now going to be running against one another, some districts are open, and there will be some DFL/GOP incumbent match-ups. Here’s the scoop.
