Graves can run for any US Rep seat he wants.


That’s crazy to think you don’t have to reside in your district.

We can all hope he can get enough turnout to beat a Dem in his “old” district, but in a presidential election the turnout will be big.
If he can get in a runoff he could have a shot, but big national money will take over.

The only thing many in his district are hoping for is that his sorry arse is primaried.

Now... what if we had closed primaries for this race?

The final vote would be on election day... with the presidential election turnout.

So if your argument is that he would need a weak turnout December runoff to win... doesn't that mean you should support the jungle primary?
