Updated yesterday at 9:10 PM - http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Investigations-into-ballot-tampering-deepens-in-Clackamas-County-177119071.html
... "Sources told Newschannel 8 that an elections worker filled in Republican preferences on spaces that voters left blank" ....
I am always suspicious when "sources" have something to interject! How do we know what was really going on?
Is there any ballot spoilage? Which races were the target? Are races left blank so damn important you commit a felony?
Are Republicans rigging a U. S. Congressional Race? - http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251205010
It's not clear how many ballots were affected, but the Oregon Dept. of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into the alleged tampering, which is a felony offense.
"The bottom line is we are taking the allegation very seriously," said Brown. "I prioritized my phone call to the Attorney General to make sure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
The controversy has voters in Clackamas County deeply concerned.

The whole Nation should be concerned when we discover that Republicans are working inside elections offices to alter the outcome of an election!!!
I am concerned that a whole lot more is going on here than meets the eye. My suspicion is that Rep. Kurt Schrader is the target of this action, and the object of the action is to alter the composition of the U. S. House. Until shown otherwise, that is my Occam's razor explanation.

There might be an issue in Florida with about a 1,000 votes missing from a Democratic county.

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