So he was planning to do that all along? This proud Texas legislator was going to up and move to Virginia all along? Come on, man.
How do you know he wasn't? Why quit congress to begin with? No one expected that either. Whatever his motivations, the fact remains he's not a resident of the district any longer and cannot run. "Stunt" or not, that's a fact. And it's far different than what went on in New Jersey with Torrecelli. No legal requirements were met in that case allowing Torrecelli to be removed from the ballot. A clearly politicized judge just disregarded election law and allowed it to happen. But the legal requirements of ineligibility have been met in this case REGARDLESS of what you want to assume lead up to it. Case closed.
