Oregon Registered Over 1,000 Illegal Voters, But News Headlines Say No Big Deal

State bureaucrats in Salem and Olympia demonstrate their incompetence on a regular basis.  But they surely know how to spin a bad news story.

Crazy as it sounds, Oregon made it legal for ILLEGAL aliens to get drivers licenses.

Then it made voter registration for driver’s licensees automatic.

Ironically enough, a liberal Chicago think tank started asking questions about Oregon voter registration that the Salem bureaucrats never bothered with.

Boom!  1259 illegally registered voters.  Some may be green card holders but none have citizenship required to vote.

And it turns out at least 9 of them have actually voted in elections in years gone by.

So, does the DMV use the big number in its press release to newsrooms yesterday or the tiny number.

Here’s the headline: “DMV error led to nine ineligible voters.”

KOIN and KGW took the bait and ran headlines featuring “9 ineligible voters”.  

Oregon had planned to send ballots to all 1259 of the illegal voters till that Chicago think tank asked the questions Oregon’s Secretary of State never bothered with. 

Do we know if there are MORE non-citizens getting ballots in a couple of weeks?

Nope.  

And don’t count on the Democrat dominated government in Salem to look for em.
