Oregon To Allow Ballots 7 Days After Elections With New Postage Date Law
By Brock Simmons
Infamous for being one of the early adopters of vote-by-mail, Oregon always looks for ways to expand the methods that unscrupulous individuals can take advantage of the system. The latest example being a new law that allows ballots to be counted long after election night as long as the envelope was post marked for election day. That could even mean it was put in a postage box after 8:00 PM on election night. That could mean piles of extra ballots found sitting in a bin in some post office that employees “forgot about” until seven days after an election. In the event of a close race separated by only a few votes, that could mean the public would have to wait weeks for that election to be certified.
A recent press release from Secretary Of State Shemia Fagan reads:

The new PSA is the latest project in the Trusted Info 2022 campaign, a national effort to pre-bunk false election information.
