Of course the survey did not address incumbents who move out later and start living somewhere else, which apparently describes Oxley, or incumbents who end up not even having a residence at all anywhere except Washington (which believe describes Portman in his later years in the 2nd District, but I am not absolutely sure of that). Some of this could be understood in the horse-and-buggy days, but no more. I would think voters would have a problem with these things too if known, but they would be tempered by knowledge of the incumbent.

Paul Gilmor doesn’t live in his district, he lives in Columbus near his wife’s work.

If this is an issue, it is a bipartisan issue.
