I don't agree with Pierson's opinion that he doesn't have to maintain any residence at all to qualify for the U.S. Senate. Even then that still doesn't excuse voter fraud, i.e. casting a ballot where you don't have a residence claiming under oath you live there.

Wow...so he's admitting he doesn't live at 3200 Highwoods Court?

The press release talks about Lugar's residency for purpose of qualifying to serve as a Senator from Indiana. The law cited relates to that.

So lugar is admitting that he has no residence in Indiana.

And that he is still entitled to vote from a precinct that he does not live in anymore because...... why?
