Oregon’s secretary of state says county clerks are being inundated with public records requests stemming from “the big lie” that the 2020 election was stolen, even while they’re already busy preparing for the November election
County clerks in Oregon are inundated with public records requests stemming from “the big lie” that the 2020 election was stolen, even while they’re already busy preparing for the November election, the secretary of state said Monday.
Secretary of State Shemia Fagan has been visiting Oregon’s 36 counties to speak with county clerks and other elections officials and said she’s seen the strain imposed by the avalanche of requests, from populous counties around Portland to Lake County, in southern Oregon near the California border, with only 5,590 registered voters.

..."Oregon was the first state to institute vote-by-mail, in which ballots are mailed to voters who can return them either by mail or at official, secured, drop-off boxes. Monday marked one month before ballots will start to be mailed out to voters in Oregon, on Oct. 19, Scroggin said. The last day to print and mail ballots to military and overseas voters is Saturday.
It’s not just in Oregon that elections officials are swamped by records requests. It’s also happening in many parts of the country.
Fagan said her office will go to the Legislature to request a fulltime public records person to help deal with the requests received by the secretary of state and county elections officials."
