With a few notable exceptions . . . Voters have never cared much about residency issues, especially when they're not determining factors for election qualifications.
Here's one example of this truism . . .
"Boyda issued a statement Sunday accusing Schmidt of pretending to live in Independence, where he has lived and voted for decades, when he and his family actually spend more time at his house in Lawrence. The issue is relevant because, thanks to GOP-led and court-approved redistricting, Lawrence has been carved out of the 2nd District, which covers much of the eastern quarter of Kansas outside of Johnson County and the Wichita area. But from a legal standpoint, the issue is moot because candidates don’t have to live in the district they represent."
