Oregon VRC in ActionIn the news...
A column by Oregon VRC member Virginia Ross recently appeared in the Oregon State Bar Bulletin. The column explains the failure of the HB 3270 effort under the hand of Director of Elections John Lindback and appeals to the incoming Secretary of State to take strong, remedial measures to insure verification of our machine tallied election results. Legislative Update
HB 3270 passed The new law requires an inadequate "placebo" audit, which does not verify election results and is no better than a paper seatbelt in ensuring that the secret software in our optical scanners has tallied the ballots correctly. The new legislature and the new Oregon SOS must take strong steps to remedy this problem. Oregon VRC will be monitoring the SOS race carefully and reporting back to our supporters concerning this vital matter. Please check back for continued Election Reform news and new Action Items and updates concerning the SOS race.  Our MissionThe mission of the Oregon Voter Rights Coalition is to restore public ownership and oversight of elections, and to ensure the fundamental right of every American citizen to vote and to have each vote counted as intended in a secure, transparent, impartial, and independently verified election process.
