    I don't believe it was an innocent mistake. The house of representatives is pretty amateurish so she will fit right in.

    Still, why would she drop out?

    IF she is using THIS...
    ...Redistricting in Colorado altered her home district, putting candidate Kerry Donovan outside of Colorado's 3rd Congressional District...
    ...as a reason?

    There is NO requirement that she resides within the boundaries of the District.

    there's no requirement that you live in the congressional district you are vying to represent.
    It's Spelled Out In The Constitution

    University of Washington political science professor George Lovell says when it comes to residency for congressional candidates, there is just one requirement.

    “The U.S. Constitution just requires that the person be a resident of the state,” Lovell said.
