Abortion is healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

The Reproductive Healthcare Act was passed to protect access to abortion here in Oregon. https://t.co/cJudO87lTg — PolitiTweet.org

Roe v. Wade has a long and important history in the United States, it has established the constitutional right to safe and legal abortions. Which is now under attack. This year, the Supreme Court decides whether that access is upheld. https://t.co/39S5GiMQGJ — PolitiTweet.org

I stand by the determination of the experts in the Oregon Elections Division. The rules are the rules. I hope the court determines an equitable standard for future cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

Mr. Kristof also suggests that he should qualify because he feels a deep connection to the state. But no elections official could make consistent, fair determinations about a candidate’s eligibility based on something so subjective. And we know subjectivity makes room for bias. — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

Mr. Kristof also argues a person who owns homes in multiple states could be an Oregon resident even if Oregon was not their permanent home. But that rule produces irrational results. Would a person run for Governor of two states at the same time?! — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

But this isn’t just about Mr. Kristof. Let’s talk precedent. In his arguments, Mr. Kristof invokes his status as a “frontrunner.” A standard based on frontrunner status would be unjust. Well-resourced and well-connected candidates would be on the ballot, while others might not. — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

These facts don’t square with the Oregon Constitution. The people who wrote our constitution wanted candidates to live permanently in Oregon for at least the three years right before being elected Governor. — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

Quick review of the facts: Until at least Nov. 2020, Mr. Kristof lived mostly in NY, voted in NY, maintained a NY driver’s license, enrolled his kids in NY public schools and paid income taxes in NY. — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

The Court’s decision in this case will guide how we decide future residency questions. So the standard they use must be fair, no matter who the candidate is. — PolitiTweet.org

Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State @OregonSOS

Yesterday we submitted a brief in the Nicholas Kristof residency case. I wanted to share a thread about what’s in the brief and why I stand by our elections officials’ decision to disqualify him from the ballot. https://t.co/JRisPyju16 — PolitiTweet.org
