For Christ Sake They're Spending $50 Million On This Georgia Race - So Why.....

couldn't one of the Dem benefactors spent some of their campaign monies to buy Ossoff a house in the district?

If he loses because he doesn't live in the district it would be a stupid tragedy for the Dems.

the 50 million is not from one single person JI7 Jun 2017 #6
He was born there and lives in neighboring district. Madam45for2923 Jun 2017 #2

That would be terrible optics - beyond not living there.... even if it were done through small donation it would be improper use of campaign funds and probably, rightly, illegal.

being spent on this election to make a point. If Ossoff loses because he doesn't live in the district - that's just plain stupid on his part and any Dems that donated large amounts of money for this race.

Why couldn't he buy a cheap house in the district or move to an apartment in the district. Taking up residence in the district would take away a kind of strong talking point from the Repugs. Why give that talking point to them?
