September 23, 2024 – Oregon Senate Republicans: Senate Republican Leader Daniel Bonham Renews Call for Comprehensive Audit of Oregon Voter Rolls
In response to Governor Kotek’s press release today regarding the Oregon DMV’s automatic voter registration system errors which led to 1,259 non-citizens being wrongfully placed on voter rolls, Senate Republican Leader Daniel Bonham (RThe Dalles) issued the following statement:
“While I appreciate Governor Kotek’s directive to the DMV to take proactive steps to avoid further errors with the state’s motor voter program, it’s not enough. The only reason we know about the DMV registering 1,259 non-citizens to vote is because a national think tank started asking questions. This tells me that there’s probably much larger, systematic issues at play. For Governor Kotek to suggest that this is the only necessary action to clean up our voter rolls shows that she’s more focused on managing appearances than solving real problems.”
Leader Bonham emphasized that Governor Kotek still needs to direct the Secretary of State to audit all voter registrations to ensure that Oregon’s voter rolls are accurate.
