Former Senator Dan Coats (R), who will “challenge Evan Bayh for his old seat from Indiana, has resided and voted in Virginia for at least a decade, according to public records,” POLITICO reports.
Coats, who resigned from the Senate in 1999, voted in the Virginia primary and general elections in 2000, according to data from the Virginia Secretary of State, provided by a Democratic source.
He voted in Virginia again in the 2002 and 2004 general elections, while he was serving as U.S. Ambassador to Germany; in the primary and general elections in 2005; and in general elections in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Data from the most recent election wasn’t immediately available.
Coats residence, according to state election authorities, is in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Falls Chuch.
