In reply to the discussion: Oregon Department of Justice investigating potential ballot tampering at Clackamas County Elections [View all]Coyotl

The WW broke this story and has sources saying the ballot fraud was Republican. In other words, marks were placed on ballots to vote Republican, at the very least. Assume nothing, I say, about how ballots may have been corrupted to cancel existing Dem votes too.
Anyway, the comments on the WW page are interesting:

O.K., let me see if I understand the logic here, Obama must have visited Oregon City and convinced a Republican operative to do five years in the pen just to make Republicans look bad. Wow, that's one very convincing Obama. A man that clever sure gets my vote.

"Rumors of voting impropriety have circulated in ClackCo since at least 1974,when I worked at a paper there. I wonder if any of the rumors were ever true."
And, posters want to blame the Dem OR SoS for the mess in Clackamas County!

"This has nothing to do with Secretary of State Kate Brown and everything to do with Clackamas County Clerk Sherry Hall, who is in charge of elections in Clackamas County.
If someone is "more incompetent that we thought possible" it's Sherry Hall."

Doesn't surprise me. I expect to see shenanigans nationwide. It's the only way the GOP can "win."
