11. Well, I'm not saying Knute lied to Carl, but here's an earlier statement:

Knute Buehler said to The Oregonian that there are “…thousands of ballots floating around in various locations during the process. There are concerns about undue pressure to vote, because you don't have the privacy of a polling booth.” He has also "raised concerns" about voter fraud, IMO a non-issue in Oregon.

My own thought is, Knute has taken shape-shifting lessons from Mitt Romney. I received some of his campaign information (addressed to a now-deceased family member who was a republicon), and in it he stated his concerns about vote-by-mail. Perhaps he's truly changed his mind about the issue, but if he were to win the election, I have a feeling he'd change it back. To learn more about Knute and his plans for Oregon, visit www.knutebuehlerfacts.com, sponsored by the Democratic Party of Oregon. I'm disappointed at some of the endorsements Knute's received, considering the flat-out lies about Kate Brown, and can only hope he does not win. Pretty scary to think what he'll bring to the office with him!

Congrats on having voted. I've got my ballot ready to drop by the county clerk's office--taking no changes on it "floating around in various locations", as Knute seems to fear.

Hope I didn't go on too long. I always like Carl's interviews, and know it's tough when he's dealing with a flip-flopper.
