>> Mike
>> Pitts<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2513495>has
>> posted this draft on SSRN (forthcoming, /University of Chicago Legal
>> Forum/). Here is the abstract:
>>
>> 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.
