This is the real issue. Amazing it has taken all week for someone to get to it.

It's been a busy week.

Kate Brown? Enforce laws against Sam Adams? HA-HA-HA-HA

From Section 2-206 of the City Charter

"(a) A vacancy in office shall exist when the Mayor . . . is convicted of a felony . . . "

So, would being convicted of an election-related crime disqualify Adams from holding office?

Not necessarily under the City Charter; many election-related crimes are misdemeanors. It might, however, under state law.
