SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon's elections director was abruptly fired in a text message by the secretary of state after he pointed out serious issues with the state's aging and vulnerable technology for running elections.

Elections Director Stephen Trout learned in a text message Thursday night — as his department and county elections officials were still counting votes from the Nov. 3 election — that he was out.

“Trout said he received no election security updates from the technology department for the 2020 election until 7:52 p.m. on election night.”

Too long of a read. But I suspect too many state level Republicans won their races so he had to go.

Yup. Can't have any of that rampant truth-telling going on in Oregon!
