Democrats are trying to disqualify trans candidates. Here’s how
Jordan Korgood, a trans woman running for the Massachusetts Governor’s Council, was disqualified after an opponent challenged her residency status. The State Ballot Law Commission ruled against her due to her use of an old New York address for voting while unhoused, leading her to suspend her campaign. A law professor criticized the challenge as a selective application of residency laws.
