Most of the Republican senatorial candidates don’t live where they’re running. Actually several Republican senators don’t live where they claim, either. Like Josh Hawley, for example. [/quote]

I can understand senators/families not living in the states they represent, at least from a logistical standpoint. If the work is in DC, it makes sense to live in/near DC. Which is a whole different thing from being REGISTERED TO VOTE in a whole different state than the one you (hope to) represent.[/quote]

Hawley's case is a very typical issue for Senators and Congressmen who spend the majority of their time in the Washington DC metro area due to their work in Congress.  There are many who have homes in MD/DC/VA and also one at home which they rarely use.  But if you are requiring them to spend the 181 days in the house that the government requires for establishing the home as their primary resident, then you will make Congress even more dysfunctional and less productive than they already are.  They are already one of the least productive Congresses ever, and you'll make it worse.

And like immediate PP said, having two homes one at home and one local to DC, is very different from being registered to vote in a jurisdiction other than the one you represent.
