Voter Receives Forwarded Ballot In Portland... AFTER Cancelling Voter Registration

A Clark County voter moved to Portland and notified the Elections Department by mailing a notification on February 16, 2024. Strangely, it took OVER A WEEK to reach the Elections Department, and the voter's registration was confirmed as canceled by the end of the day on February 23, 2024. Surprisingly, a ballot was forwarded on February 29, 2024. If, by chance, the ballot had already been printed, why wasn't action taken to remove it from mailing? Why wasn't the voter at least notified via email that their ballot had already been sent out, urging them to be aware?

This incident is just one of several examples of how illegitimate ballots are sent out and haplessly forwarded by the USPS.

Another family informed me that, despite moving to Lewis County in mid-October, changing their voting registration, and correctly receiving a ballot from Lewis County, they ALSO RECEIVED A BALLOT FROM CLARK COUNTY, which was once again forwarded by the USPS.

FORWARDING BALLOTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! If a ballot is undeliverable but has a forwarding address, it should be returned to the Elections Department. Subsequently, the voter should be notified immediately to correct the matter (cancel or change voter registration) for their ballot to be resent or forwarded. Even if this is happening within the County, it still implies that someone is likely voting for the wrong district or candidate.

The Restore Election Confidence Initiative would address these issues by requiring all such incidents to be reported at the end of the election. This will help determine if these are isolated cases or a recurring pattern that needs immediate attention. Additionally, the Elections Department would be mandated to take active measures, as described above, rather than passively relying on the voter to send in a change request.

How frequently is this happening in Clark County? It's more widespread than we currently know.

ICYMI: Frustrated Voters Over Forced Party Identification Fuels Call For Election Reforms

Read the article submitted to Clark County Today

As the 2024 presidential primary ballots hit mailboxes, a troubling reality hangs over many voters: if they don't align with a major political party, boldly displayed on the outside of their ballots, their votes won't count. This conundrum demands immediate attention, emphasizing the urgent need for election reform.

The stark truth is that choosing not to declare a party preference translates to a disregarded vote—a message resoundingly delivered by those in power. While Secretary Steve Hobbs is the face of this decision, we shouldn't be naive; many others have jumped aboard with this detrimental choice that will undoubtedly result in lower voter participation. The decision reflects a broader mentality in our state's political landscape, particularly within the influential circles of the ruling elite.

The power brokers in charge are advocating for mandatory political party identification on the outside of your ballot, a move that undermines the principles of an open, fair, yet private voting process. Even staunch independents find themselves pigeonholed into one category or another. It's a binary choice, and if you don't conform, you're left with no say at all.

This top-down decision-making approach mirrors a pervasive mentality in various election departments across the state. It suggests a belief that those in charge know better than the voters, and they will manipulate the process as they see fit, fostering a culture where dissent is punished, and compliance is demanded.

So, how do we break free from this restrictive system? The solution lies in reclaiming control over our elections, starting at the county level, where our voices matter most.
