Portland, OR – Senator Ron Wyden today issued the following statement in regards to the recent announcement that Trump’s Department of Justice plans to send election monitors to Oregon.
“Oregon’s vote-by-mail system has proven for more than three decades to be the gold standard for elections. And what these observers deployed by Trump administration officials back in Washington, DC will find is that our state once again will hold secure, accurate and fair elections,” Wyden said. “I’m glad that Secretary of State Read is fully prepared to protect Oregonians’ right to free and fair elections while also ensuring these observers follow the law prohibiting any observer from interfering in an election.”
