I don't know what the residency laws are in those states. However, in Texas residency is a "state of mind" and not where you lay your head at night. I suspect those states might be similar to Texas.It begs the question, what qualifies someone to be a "resident" of a state?
Tommy's opponent is trying to paint him into a corner. If Tommy wasn't such an idiot, he would have at least claimed residency from March 2019 when he registered to vote in AL. I would love to see the mental gymnastics required on here to rationalize how he was a resident of the state of AL in Aug 2018, but a resident of FL in Nov 2018 (when he voted there), then back to an AL resident. All the while claiming a homestead exemption on a home he doesn't even own?
His opponents broader point is that Tommy lives in a $6M FL mansion, but is claiming a home in Auburn as his residence, that is owned by his wife and son...I mean, who among us hasn't left our "vacation home", driven 4+ hours to our "primary residence," (owned by someone else, not a trust or LLC) and then promptly checked ourselves into a hotel right down the street? Anyone with at least half a brain knows that they bought that home for their son (his name was on the deed originally, then Tommy got added a few years later), and are now using it to justify his residency for governor...rules for thee, but not for me!
You're all so focused on CA that when someone in your own party does something shady and illegal you don't even care. No republican was going to win CA, just like a democrat isn't going to win TX.
