maybe.
But it does show a lack of commitment to the district. What was he going to do if he won, hold off going to Washington until she finishes her residency?

To be frank, I don't think he would have fared much better if you could just say "he moved into the district just to run"
Also to add... the guy was so clearly pandering on his message, caving to pressure on this issue when he had a decent explanation as to why may have done more harm than good.

Did not matter. Still looking for that answer for failure and missing the whole forest.

I think it was an issue. Ossoff himself even said it was during the primary. It made it even worse when his campaign was claiming he was only 3 blocks outside the district when it was actually over 3 miles. The reporter who tried to walk from his house to the nearest point in the district made it more of an issue by showing them to be lying about it. Also, they tried to flip it on Handel by saying she was not from GA and was born in DC yet she has lived inside the district for 25 years. Her question to him in the debate "Who are you going to vote for in this election?" was brilliant. Because he was forced to say he couldn't vote because he didn't live in the district. She was a terrible candidate overall but that scored points and was shown on the news over and over.

The point is, in such a close and expensive race, why leave something so easily fixable to chance?

I understand that is what he said.
right or wrong, he put his fiancé's career in front of his potential constituents. it reflects a lack of commitment. for perspective, this is a district that has been red my entire life. He was essentially asking these voters to step out of their comfort zone on his behalf, when he would not step out of his own for them.
I still don't think he wins. Perhaps the seeds were sewn that allows a victory in the next election for this seat.

If his girlfriend is so important to him why have they been dating for 10 years? You would think the idea of marriage would have popped up by now.

Maybe he's pulling a Leto Atreides and hoping for a political marriage?
