The National Republican Congressional Committee has been doing opposition research about the Democratic candidates who want to challenge Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook), and found many of them were registered to vote out of the district in 2016. In fact, the four Democrats who have raised the most money to challenge Faso did not vote in the 19th Congressional District. "Brian Flynn was living in New York City; Antonio Delgado was living in Montclair, New Jersey; Patrick Ryan was living in New York City; Gareth Rhodes was living in Cambridge, Massachusetts," the NRCC press release reports, with links to their voter registrations. In the last two elections in the district, Democrats have ran candidates Sean Eldridge and Zephyr Teachout who both were labeled "carpetbaggers" for their suspect credentials as residents of the district, and both lost.
