"A Minnesota judicial panel revealed redrawn congressional districts Tuesday that placed Rep. Michele Bachmann's home outside the district she represents."While the Constitution doesn't require that representatives live in the district they represent, only in the state, it kinda poses a problem for re-election. People generally vote only for people that live in their districts. This is not stopping Bachmann however, as she has still announced that she will run in district six despite now being a resident of district four.
This week feels like the first week in a long time that there were no primaries or caucuses to report on.
