>
> This article argues against laws which mandate that candidates and
> elected officials reside in a particular geographic area as a
> condition of election or office-holding (i.e., residency
> requirements). The article considers various rationales for
> residency requirements --- some of which have been endorsed by
> federal and state courts --- and concludes that those rationales
> by-and-large do not hold up under scrutiny. The article also
> considers the costs of residency requirements and concludes that
> the costs of such requirements outweigh any purported benefits.
> The article then ponders why residency requirements have continued
> to exist despite weak justifications for their use, and concludes
> that residency requirements likely persist because they insulate
> incumbent partisans from electoral competition. As such, a
> politics as markets approach might suggest the elimination of
> residency requirements.
>
> Looking forward to reading this! This has been my position, but
> obviously not (from me) based in a politics as markets approach.
