Latest residency accusations could spell trouble for Walker

Most people expect the runoff election between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock to be every bit as tight as the last one and plenty of mud has been slung in both directions as the process has played out. The latest headline to catch my eye was a bit surprising (at least to me) because I don’t know how this tidbit didn’t turn up during the general election campaign. It’s being reported that one detail from Walker’s campaign disclosure forms indicates that his “primary residence” in Georgia wasn’t actually his residence at all until very shortly before he jumped into the Senate race. In fact, the house is in his wife’s name and it was being used as a rental property up until the start of the campaign last year.
