Sec-of-State failed to provide update on non-citizen voters

OREGON SOS FAILS TO PROVIDE UPDATES ON NON-CITIZENS REGISTERED TO VOTE
By Oregon House Republican Caucus,

SALEM, Ore. – Today, House Republican Leader Christine Drazan issued the following statement following Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade’s testimony in the House Rules Committee’s hearing on election integrity:

“As we heard today, many Oregonians experienced issues in receiving the ballots on time or at all this election cycle. I want to encourage the Secretary of State to continue to press the United State Postal Service to deliver answers and solutions for the Oregonians who experienced delays in receiving their ballots, or didn’t receive them at all.

“However, today’s testimony from the Secretary of State’s office did nothing to give Oregonians confidence that the errors that allowed non-citizens to register to vote in Oregon have been fully identified and corrected.

“Automatic voter registration must remain suspended until we can confidently tell Oregonians that only eligible voters are registered through our automatic voter registration system, safeguards have been implemented to verify citizenship at the point of registration, and that regular audits will be performed in perpetuity to remove ineligible voters from the voter rolls.

“As elected leaders we have a duty to strengthen our election system, provide transparency for Oregonians, and ensure the continued trust in our elections.”
