I always thought to run for the US House you need to be a resident of the state and district you want to represent. Wrong....you just need to  just be a resident of the state. The Democrat who ran for Price's seat in Georgia is a resident of a nearby district.

OF course you didn't know it because you only do left wing news outlets. If you had checked out any conservative media you would have known it for a few weeks. The local media was running ads in every commercial break reporting it. Only after the election did the MSM left wing idiot like yourself bother to report it. One of my sisters lives in that district. The really sad thing is that other areas of the city had to post  messages and run ads because the stupid liberals were calling wanting to know where they were supposed to go to vote for the liberal idiot.

I didn't know one way or another but I do know that it wasn't good politics.  His "friendly" interview with CNN was a disaster.  

Also didn't help him that he has been living with his girfriend for 12 years and he is only 30.  And his ads were insulting to our intelligence.  If you didn't know that he worked for Congressman Hank "Guam is tipping over" Johnson you would think he was a right wing nut.  Why do liberals have to lie about what they believe to get elected?  I know, rhetorical question.....  

Having said all that, he can still win the runoff.  It will all be about turnout and he will have the cash to make a run at it.  If you look at the early voting results he was way ahead (got up into the mid 50's) but went in the tank on election day.  Frankly, if he was a better candidate there is no reason he should have lost.  He had the money, he looks like pajama boy, he was willing to say anything to get elected, etc.  As Politico said, when will the Dems start winning?  Answer could be June 20th if the GOP muffs this.

On Saturday, just a few days before Tuesday’s highly anticipated special election to fill an open congressional seat, election equipment used to check in voters at the polls was stolen in Cobb County, Georgia.

“On the evening of April 15th, voting equipment used for voter check-in for one Cobb County precinct for the April 18 Special Election was stolen from a poll manager’s vehicle,” the Cobb County Board of Elections said in a statement. “The Cobb County Board of Elections is working with the Georgia Secretary of State’s office to address this serious matter. Cobb County Police is investigating the theft.”

Although the units were stolen on Saturday, the Georgia secretary of state’s office says the Cobb County Board of Elections did not notify it until two days later. The secretary of state’s office has reconfigured the coding to make the stolen units unusable, according to spokeswoman Candice Boce.

The units stolen were not voting machines, so they could not be used to fraudulently vote, Cobb County Elections Director Janine Eveler told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The equipment did contain the voter file with Georgia voters’ personal information like driver’s license numbers and addresses, but not social security numbers, Eveler told the Journal-Constitution. But she added that “it does require some knowledge or expertise to use machine to retrieve the information.”

Key electronic voter logs used in the Georgia special election to fill a vacant Congressional seat were swiped from the pickup truck of a poll worker during a grocery run, according to a police report obtained by Fox News.

What I learned was that apparently "key voting equipment" is riding around in unlocked trucks in GA and that while "it could not be used to alter vote counts"and probably would not help someone since GA appearently requires voter ID but - that there is drivers license numbers, addresses and possibly electronic copies of signatures on the devices that could be used for identity theft.

Hopefully they were able to lock the devices remotely or wipe them to stop the potential of identity theft.
