Carpetbagging
I am now a carpetbagger. There's a law that says precincts can't have more than 800 voters, and due to the huge turnout from the recent election, the precinct I am the duly elected PCO of -- Bryant -- has over 800 voters, and was split into another precinct, Henning, in which I now reside. The Republican voters of Bryant have a Henning resident carpetbagging as their representative! It's an outrage!
Likely, after the next election in May, I'll get local party officials to switch my office to the Henning precinct, as they have the power to fill vacancies, and I can resign from Bryant and be appointed to Henning, meaning I will no longer be duly elected, but appointed. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
