Since the wingnuts got so upset at the makebelieve electoral fraud of ACORN, I'm sure they will be very upset at the real case of electoral fraud

Candidate running in Kansas, but home is in Florida
Hartman, 64, is the front-runner for an open congressional seat in south-central Kansas. He's an oilman who has made his mark in Wichita, where he built a sports arena and owns a popular restaurant.
But he's also a guy who is getting a tax break this year by claiming that the waterfront Florida home he and his wife own in Highland Beach is their primary residence. He has a valid Florida driver license, is still listed as a Florida voter, and has a Florida polo league named after him.
These are inconvenient facts for a Kansas candidate who went on Wichita radio this month to say that campaign talk about him spending time in Florida is bunk.
A certified homesteader
"To be very direct with you," Hartman said on the radio show, "I've never left Kansas and I never did move to Florida."
Did I mention he's a conservative Republican who wants tougher border enforcement and is "100 percent against amnesty in any way"?
So even though Hartman doesn't look Mexican, somebody in Kansas ought to ask for his papers. Then we can discuss what sort of amnesty is appropriate in his case.
Hartman's papers would show that he left Kansas for Palm Beach County in 2005, where he bought a $4 million house and called it home, which allowed him to receive a property-tax reduction.
When the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office sent out a renewal notice for the homestead exemption this year on Hartman's Highland Beach home, it came back with a sticker that said "temporarily away."
