The Oregon secretary of state directed county election officials to remove more than 300 additional ineligible voters after over 1,200 were removed last month. The governor, meanwhile, has called for a third-party audit and instructed the motor vehicles department to pause automatic voter registration.
Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade (D) told county election officials on Monday to remove 302 voters from voter rolls after the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division stated in a report that it determined they had not provided proof of U.S. citizenship. The secretary of state’s office is working with the county election officials to investigate whether the 302 individuals have ever voted.
