Herschel Walker says that “this erection is about the people”, as Lindsey and Ted look on with gravitas and nod like bobbleheads.

He may not be eligible to serve as Georgia Senator, given his primary residence is in Dallas… _Texas_: > > **[Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker getting tax break in 2022 on Texas...](https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/23/politics/kfile-herschel-walker-texas-tax-break-georgia-runoff/index.html)** > > Republican Herschel Walker is getting a tax break intended only for a primary residence this year on his home in the Dallas, Texas, area, despite running for Senate in Georgia. Effectively all that will happen is HW pays Texas the tax bill + penalty. Nothing will impact him being able to run/serve as GA Senator. ---

[Octaman](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/The_Octaman) would like to have a word with you. He’s a one-woman monster, not indiscriminate like Walker. For that matter he’s a good parent, who takes action when his children are kidnapped! He does admit though to having difficulties with modern ideas of consensual relationships, a weakness he was working on prior to recent events. And he does admit it’s hard not being part of the vampire/werewolf spectrum, as he is able to be killed with normal bullets. Seriously though, I don’t think anyone is expecting anything out of Walker other than (a) supporting Trump and (b) voting along the party line if he wins. He’s pretty much proof of concept that a sufficiently large group of individuals will vote for anything with the correct letter at the end of their name. Many opinions I have regarding the candidate though are utterly unacceptable for this forum. As such, and considering the overall tone of the thread, I think this is better in the Pit than P&E. But I may be the only one who thinks such. ---

So what is the deal with him claiming residency in TX for tax purposes? Between him and Oz it seems the residency thing is kinda optional anymore (and Hilary for Senate, too if we’re being honest). And of course we’ve got Zinke in MT with the same situation, lucky us. ---
