Richard Lugar Ruled Ineligible To Vote For His Own Reelection

Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) has been facing a lot of questions about his residency status ever since he decided to seek another term in the Senate. Both Democrats and tea party conservatives who'd like to replace the moderate Lugar have accused him of abandoning his home state in favor of a life in the DC area full-time.

Now they've got a new data point. The Indianapolis Star reports a local elections board "has voted 2-1 along party lines to find Sen. Richard Lugar, a Republican, and his wife ineligible to vote in their former home precinct" because their primary residence is in Virginia.
