That's the technicality. You have to have a residence in the district/state that is supposed to be your primary residence but many just keep an address there and live somewhere else.

That's one of the reasons Rick Santorum got crushed in his last PA election. He had an empty house he was claiming as his residence while living in Virginia. People didn't like that very much.
