Motor-voter is what destroyed California. Sounds like in Oregon, you don’t even have to tick a box that says ‘I am eligible to vote’, before they register you. Bye-bye, Oregon.

And just an aside, my Socialist sister lives in Oregon and BELIEVES that everyone should be able to vote, citizen or not. ‘They live in the area anyway and should have a say in what happens’. Not kidding.

They have a similar law in Kansas. You DO have to bring two forms of Government approved ID. The problem is, registering to vote this way isn’t reliable in our state. They give you a paper where you check yes to register and also which party you want.

The problem is, I never got any voter materials like a card or where to go to vote etc. So this year I went to the voter registration office, and they did NOT have me listed! This was the second time I’d tried to register through a government agency and neither one went through.

Upon examining my voter records, the last listing for address I had was many years ago, and I’d moved out of state since then. However, they took me off the registration list because I hadn’t voted in any local elections. I guess I wasn’t aware that I had to report to someone that I moved???? I dunno.

As it turns out, there are two voter roles here..one for state and the other for federal ..if I understand it correctly. In any event, if anybody uses this type of system to register to vote, be wise. Check with your voter registration office to make sure you ARE listed to vote. I found out there was a problem when I went to vote in our Primary this year and was able to get things worked out to make my vote count in the primary. I thought I was preregistered, but I wasn’t!!

Don’t depend on any government agency to register you. Maybe they put through democrat registrations, but they surely didn’t put through my party affiliation which is not democrat. Maybe the error was with the voter registration office, in any event, don’t leave something like that to chance. Go personally to your registration office and do it yourself. That way if there are any problems, you can take care of them right then and there and then you know for SURE all is well, and in time to be counted. Follow up a week or two later with a phone call.

It appears the answer is no. Illegals cannot get driver's licenses in Oregon.

A recent Oregon law that automatically registers residents to vote when they get or renew a driver’s license has fueled a surge in newly minted voters.

Well yeah, I would guess so. However, that does not mean more people will vote.

The Democrats have plenty of raw material to manufacture votes now!

Actually most of the state was red. Only Portland, Eugene and Ashland were blue areas.

Of course, Portland has the largest population.....sigh.

In Arizona and Kalifornia you just check "yes" on the application. There is a sternly worded message about fraud just above the box.

Foolproof...right?

“In Oregone? Have you ever been there? I think there are maybe six or seven Republicans there, and they’re prepping to move.”

You are certainly right about the 2 big counties.

Here is the big problem in Oregon..ALL vote by mail. I’ve worked these election ‘counts’.....and watched the county clerk throw out primary Republican ballots...they are different colors and get tossed before they are even opened...see those little wholes in the envelopes? When I objected, I was told to never come back to work again. Who was I supposed to complain to......KATE BROWN.

The workers get the ballots and a pencil to ‘enhance’ faint marks in the circle. To get a Trump vote thrown out all they have to do is mark another circle, making it a double vote that gets THROWN OUT! Since vote by mail, this state legislature, all of it is pure democrat control.

Born and raised here in Oregon, Gerrymandering has made Oregon appear more liberal than it is.
