Oregon Governor 2022

The Hill -

Kristof ineligible to run for Oregon governor, secretary of state says
The Oregon Elections Division ruled on Thursday that former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is ineligible to run for governor because he failed to meet the state’s residency requirement.

Oregon’s constitution requires candidates for governor to have resided in the state for at least three years before an election. Kristof, who owns homes in both New York and Oregon, voted in New York in the 2020 election, putting him past the deadline to establish residency in Oregon ahead of the 2022 midterms.

"The rules are the rules and they apply equally to all candidates for office in Oregon. I stand by the determination of the experts in the Oregon Elections Division that Mr. Kristof does not currently meet the Constitutional requirements to run or serve as Oregon Governor," Secretary of State Shemia Fagan said in a statement.

One would expect that a candidate knows the gritty details of election law in his target constituency :confuzzled:

Yeah - this dude tries to parachute into local politics while living in NY (and spending a couple of months a year in Oregon). Fuck him. Oregon has a law that you have to change your driver's license within 30 days of moving here. He did not do that within the 3 year window. We shall see how his appeal goes.
