I love how the Rs always run the best and the brightest. WV-Sen: We're not just from Florida. Colorado too. by Jed Lewison Mon Oct 18, 2010 at 07:12:03 AM PDT When you're husband is running for U.S. Senate in West Virginia and you aren't allowed to vote for him because the family home is actually in Florida, this is not the best defense: In an escalating residency controversy between West Virginia's Senate contenders, the wife of Republican businessman John Raese is being purged from the state's voter rolls because she is also registered to vote in Florida. John Raese is running against Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin to fill the seat of the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D). Roll Call confirmed Friday that Elizabeth Raese is registered to vote in both states but has not voted in West Virginia since 1998. But in an interview this week with Time magazine, she indicated that she would be -- and has been -- voting in West Virginia. "We are West Virginians," Elizabeth Raese said, according to Time reporter Jay Newton-Small. "We live here, we vote here, people know that. We also have a home in Colorado, but we're not residents there either." Aha, I get it. It's not fair to call Raese a Floridian because he's actually from Colorado. Smart defense. Really. But where does West Virginia figure into it?
