Oregon election officials are set to begin removing hundreds of thousands of inactive voters from the state’s registration rolls, a move that comes after years of inaction, mounting public pressure, and lawsuits filed against the state in recent months.
Oregon's Democratic Secretary of State Tobias Read, in a press release Friday, outlined two new directives he said will "restart" the "routine cleanup of outdated, inactive voter registration records" in accordance with state law to address the roughly 800,000 inactive voter records that are being maintained by election officials.
The first directive orders counties to immediately cancel long-inactive voter registrations that already met the legal requirements for removal before 2017. These are registrations where election mail was returned as undeliverable, voters failed to respond to official notices, and they did not participate in multiple federal elections. State officials estimate roughly 160,000 registrations fall into this category and should have been removed years ago.
The second directive changes how the state handles inactive voters going forward. It updates the language on voter confirmation cards to clearly warn voters that their registrations will be canceled if they do not respond or vote within the required time frame. State officials say this step restores a process that allows routine cleanup of inactive registrations under federal law.
Together, the directives are designed to address a backlog of inactive records and restart regular voter-roll maintenance after Oregon paused removals in 2017.
...
State officials acknowledge there are about 800,000 inactive registrations total, roughly 20% of Oregon’s voter rolls, though they stress multiple times in the press release that inactive voters do not currently receive ballots, saying at one point, "again, none of the individuals associated with these records will receive ballots, and these inactive records have no impact on Oregon elections."

So they dragged their feet for nine years. I wonder why?
🤔
Nothing has actually been done yet. It’s encouraging, but it’s not a win yet. Once it’s completed, it’s a win.
OREGON VOTES BY POSTCARD-—
AN EXTRA 800,000 VOTE TO PLAY WITH-—ON POSTCARDS.
Demoncrats have been CHEATING in Oregon for DECADES.
Mail in FRAUD. One year, democrat voters ALL got TWO BALLOTS a piece, but said, “the extra one was thrown away.” Bullshiit!
Ballot box stuffing.
You have to SIGN THE OUTSIDE of the envelope that holds your ballot!
They KNOW you ALEADY by your signature and your party registration.
Then they just DITCH a number of republican ballots.
It’s INSANE.
Mark my words.
Trump has won in Oregon 3 times.
Without FRAUD, Kotex, Waxface Wyden and Moron Merkley would be DITCHED in a nano second.
These inactive voters allow the DemonKKKrats to use their ballots to vote for Dem candidates.
Oregon Population is around 4.27 million. So about 20%, WOW!
Actually pretty common in Blue states & big cities, for it helps in perpetrating fraud in elections.
Inactive = Republican. But not until a week before the election.
No, I didn’t know that, but nothing they do, or don’t surprises me because it’s ALL FRAUDULENT. All those fake ballots from China came in through Oregon.
Democrats here LOVE the CCP.
And the CCP ships all manner of contraband in here through the Port of Portland.
No wonder Antifa loves the CCP and Portland..
There may be a real election next year.
They started by demonstrating that the Social Security rolls were overloaded with the dead and exceedingly dead.
FFS that was Musk indicating that DOGE could be utilized to purge voter rolls in identically the same way.
Instead, the Deep State activated scumbag Sergio Gor, a personnel director lol, to threaten and actually attack Musk in the White House in order to end DOGE.
Unfortunately it succeeded, because Musk has zero patience for impacted turds like Gor, with a trillion dollars worth of capitalism to shepherd.
Gor has been banished to the sub-continent shithole of India, too little too late.
EXACTLY. And Washington, too.
Government maffs..... 20% of Oregon is under 18. It is very doubtful all eligible voters are registered. Definitely fraud. It really got bad when Kate Brown was SoS and became the accidental governor. Not even Kommie Kotek is as awful as Brown.
Especially blue states with mail in ballots. They shuttle homeless ballots (not saying voters because it is doubtful they ever see them) and magically find enough democrat party votes to spread around the state in small districts.
“Did you notice they paused cleaning up the voter rolls in 2017?”
I didn’t know that, I’m not surprised.
What I did notice this year was busloads of illegal aliens being unloaded at the DMV. And at that time, the DMV was closed to everyone else!
The motor voter law needs to GO.
All mail-in ballots scream fraud, and yes they can be used for those as well, but they can be used for other methods also.
Every single voter registry should be archived and then zeroed out every year after the Presidential election. People need to be more involved in civics in general, and requiring you to register once every four years certainly isn’t that big of a burden.
