In a campaign speech earlier this year, Herschel Walker, the Republican
candidate for US Senate in Georgia, said: “I live in Texas.”

Related: Record early voting in runoff for Georgia Senate seat

The US constitution says senators must be 30 years old, a citizen for
nine years, and “shall … when elected, be an inhabitant of that state
for which he shall be chosen”.

Republicans have been burned by a similar issue already this year, in
another close Senate race. In Pennsylvania, the Democratic candidate,
John Fetterman, focused on questions about whether his opponent, the TV
doctor Mehmet Oz, actually lived in New Jersey. Fetterman ultimately won
convincingly.

Control of the Senate has already been decided but victory in Georgia
would give Democrats outright control by 51-49.

Walker will face the Democratic incumbent, Raphael Warnock, in a runoff
next Tuesday, a contest triggered when Warnock received the most votes
on election day but did not pass 50% of the vote. Polling puts the two
candidates near-level, with early voting at record levels.

Endorsed by Donald Trump, Walker has ridden controversies over his
business record, alleged encouragement of abortions, family
relationships, and more.

A football star for the University of Georgia, he went on to star for
the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. Earlier this month, CNN reported that he
was benefiting from a tax break on a Dallas home described as his
principal residence.

On Tuesday, CNN returned to the well, reporting that in January, while
discussing immigration policy in a speech to Republicans at the
University of Georgia, Walker said: “I live in Texas … I went down to
the border off and on sometimes.”

Walker also said: “Everyone asks me, why did I decide to run for a
Senate seat? Because to be honest with you, this is never something I
ever, ever, ever thought in my life I’d ever do. And that’s the honest
truth.

“As I was sitting in my home in Texas, I was sitting in my home in
Texas, and I was seeing what was going on in this country. I was seeing
what was going on in this country with how they were trying to divide
people.”

CNN also said Walker gave at least four interviews about his Georgia run
from his Texas home.

When CNN first reported Walker’s Texas tax break, Anthony Michael Kreis,
a law professor at Georgia State University, told the network: “This is
more of a political problem than a legal one … where Walker can be
painted as a carpetbagger.”

‘werewolf, not vampire’

This week, however, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that a
legal complaint had been filed, urging “state investigators … to probe
whether … Walker violated the law by receiving a tax break on his Texas
home meant for primary residents of that state even as he runs for
federal office in Georgia”.

The paper noted that Walker registered to vote in Georgia in August
2021, shortly before declaring his candidacy.

Nikema Williams, chair of the state Democratic party, told the AJC
Walker may have “lied about being a Georgia resident”.

“Georgians deserve answers,” the US congresswoman said, “and Walker must
be held accountable for his pattern of lies and disturbing conduct.”

The Walker campaign did not comment.

You've obviously got more than enough to throw some in both states,
and then feed some homeless people.

I almost hope Senator in-waiting Walker, pulls off a victory, just to later follow his adventures in Washington D.C.... I'm betting the temptations he'd be offered as a big shot Retrumplican would be quite overwhelming for him, bless his simple minded heart.... HawHawHaw!

Alas, I doubt he'll be the winner....

So do I, but hope reigns internal(ly), and 50-50 is better than 51-49.
