Lars Larson: My take on election scandal

By Lars Larson
NW and national radio host,

State bureaucrats in Salem and Olympia demonstrate incompetence on a regular basis.

But they surely know how to spin a bad news story.

Crazy as it sounds, Oregon made it legal for ILLEGAL aliens to get driver’s licenses.

Then it made voter registration AUTOMATIC for ALL driver’s licensees.

Ironically enough, a liberal Chicago think tank started asking questions about Oregon voter registration that the Salem bureaucrats never bothered with.

Boom!

1259 illegally registered voters. Some may be green card holders but none have citizenship required to vote.

At least 9 have actually voted in past elections.

So, does the DMV use the big number in its press release to newsrooms yesterday or the tiny number?

Here’s the headline: “DMV error led to nine ineligible voters.”

KOIN and KGW took the bait and ran headlines featuring “9 ineligible voters”.

Oregon had planned to send ballots to all 1259 of the illegally registered voters till that Chicago think tank asked its questions.

Do we know if there are any MORE non-citizens getting ballots in a couple of weeks?

Nope.

And don’t count on the Democrat dominated government in Salem to look for ‘em.
