Donald Trump Wins Surprise Election in Oregon, but His Eligibility Is in Question

Former President Donald Trump has won a seat on the Hubbard Rural Fire Protection District in western Oregon, after voters put his name down as a write-in candidate.

Trump and four other people received two votes each in the May 16 election. The election was decided by a roll of the dice on June 23, and Trump won after rolling a 12.

However, it remains to be seen if Trump will be eligible to take up the role. The Hubbard Rural Fire Protection District requires board directors to either live in or own property in the district. Trump lives and is registered in Florida, and there is no indication that he has any plans to move to Oregon.

If Trump is found ineligible, the other person who rolled a 10 in the dice, Paula Smith, will be asked if she wants the role. If Smith does not want the role, then a vacancy will be declared and the fire board will have to appoint someone.

The next Hubbard Fire District meeting will take place on July 12, where it is expected it will be decided who takes on the open board position.
