INTEL Drop - vote by mail Legislation
SUBJECT: Legislative Evolution of Vote-by-Mail in Oregon - A Strategic Analysis
The #ENDVBM Initiative seeks to dismantle Oregon’s mail-only voting system and restore in-person voting to ensure accountability, security, and electoral integrity. The following section provides a full-dive into the history of legislation that shaped our current election system and the people who designed it. Based on the legislation alone, it is easy to conclude that Oregon’s elections are designed to maximize invalid ballots through the guise of “convenience” and cover up the counting of invalid ballots by limiting elections oversight, public access and truth suppression initiatives.
Cracking the legislative code
Hiding in plain sight, the legislative history of Oregon’s vote-by-mail system shows that it isn’t about convenience. It’s about control.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1981 // INITIATION OF VOTE BY MAIL >> HB 3099
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: PREVENT CONFIRMATION THAT A SINGLE VOTER CAST A SINGLE VOTE
The legislative debate to institute vote-by-mail was brought forth by a small faction within the Democrat party. However, a widely bipartisan majority opposed vote-by-mail on the basis of compromised election security. After years of failed attempts, HB 3099 passed the legislature allowing counties to conduct certain elections entirely by mail. HB 3099 is not available online, but is retained by the Oregon State Archives.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1987 // LEGISLATURE MAKES VBM PERMANENT OPTION >> [OFF BOOKS]
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: PERMANENTLY OPEN THE DOOR TO UNTRACEABLE MASS-ELECTION FRAUD
Oregon Legislature makes VBM a permanent option for local county elections. The bill number is missing, but multiple sources (including Wikipedia) confirm this as fact.
FALSE FRONT: The public debate to expand VBM was led by the League of Women Voters, AARP and the Oregon Education Association. The coalition argued it would increase participation by making voting more convenient. Today, in 2025, the Psychological Theater is well established with the majority of citizens brainwashed into believing that voting in person is so challenging that it’s actually anti-democratic. Opposition was led by Bill Sizemore and Lynn Snodgrass who believed VBM would invite election fraud.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1988 // FINAL TERM ENDS OF OREGON’S LAST REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: INITIATE ERA OF SOFT AUTHORITARIANISM >> SUBTLE BUREAUCRATIC CONTROL DISGUISED AS DEMOCRACY
The last Republican governor in Oregon, Victor Atiyah, serves his last term in office. He was the first Arab-American governor in the United States and of Syrian descent.
CONTROLLED TERRITORY: Oregon has not elected a Republican governor in 37 years of vote-by-mail.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1989 // HOUSE DEFEATES VOTE-BY-MAIL FOR PRIMARY ELECTIONS >> [BIPARTISAN]
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: MAJOR SETBACK FOR VBM PROPONENTS FACING BIPARTISAN OPPOSITION
A bill that would’ve made it legal to vote by mail in Oregon’s primary election was defeated across party lines 33-27.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1991 // ALLOWS VOTE BY MAIL FOR ELECTIONS >> [HB 2153]
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: SUBVERT FEDERAL ELECTIONS WHILE IMPROVING PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT OF VBM AT THE STATE LEVEL
HB 2153 allowed vote by mail to be used for federal elections under specific circumstances, such as special elections. This bill paved the way for Senator Ron Wyden (D) to narrowly defeat Gordon Smith (R) in 1996 by 1%. Wyden has not experienced a close race ever since and remains in power to this day [2025]. This bill is not available online but is retained by the Oregon State Archives.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1992 // GOV. BARBARA ROBERTS (D) MAKES NEW CASE FOR VBM
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: MISDIRECT THE PUBLIC AWAY FROM SECURITY CONCERN
Governor’s Task Force on Local Government Services “identifies” statewide vote-by-mail as one of the most significant opportunities to save money on conducting elections.
MISDIRECTION TACTICS: Democrats needed to shift the public conversation away from security vulnerabilities to achieve public support for vote-by-mail.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1995 // OREGON BECOMES FIRST STATE TO HOLD VBM FEDERAL PRIMARY
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: SUBVERT FEDERAL ELECTIONS // ELIMINATE VALIDATION OF BALLOTS
Despite then Governor John Kitzhaber’s (D) veto of a passed bill to expand VBM to all elections, Oregon held the first VBM federal primary as a special election. Gov. Kitzhaber cited the inability to validate ballots through vote-by-mail but the Democrat majority pushed forward.
*******
DATESTAMP: 1996 // RON WYDEN (D) ELECTED IN FIRST VBM GENERAL FEDERAL ELECTION
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: SUBVERT FEDERAL ELECTIONS THROUGH THE HARVESTING AND COUNTING OF INVALID BALLOTS
Oregon becomes the first state to conduct a general election 100% by mail after the resignation of republican Sen. Bob Packwood. Democrat Ron Wyden defeated Republican Gordon Smith by less than 1%. He hasn’t experienced a close election ever since and remains in office to this day (2025).
*******
DATESTAMP: 1998 // TOTAL ELECTION REFORM: REQUIRES ELECTIONS BY MAIL FOR ALL ELECTIONS IN OREGON >> MEASURE 60
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: EXECUTE SOFT COUP
After a 17 year effort to consolidate power through the election system, Oregon becomes the first state in the U.S. to adopt an exclusive vote-by-mail system. Measure 60, conducted both in person and by mail, was supported by League of Women Voters, AARP, Oregon League of Conservation Voters and the Oregon Education Association.
DECLASSIFIED: All current forms of mass-election fraud and the institutional disenfranchisement of Oregon voters is a result of this Act.
*******
DATESTAMP: 2000 // FIRST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HELD ENTIRELY BY MAIL
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: CAPTURE THE APPARATUS
Oregon becomes the first state in the nation to conduct a presidential election entirely by mail. Typical voter turnout in Oregon, prior to VBM, was around 66%. Turnout in this election was 80% and, in all elections since, voter turnout has been roughly 85%.
DECLASSIFIED: Lawmakers knew that vote-by-mail would eliminate the ability to validate ballots. Considering the fact that, prior to VBM, Oregon was a swing state, with average voter turnout in the mid sixties, it can be assumed that a significant portion of the increase can account for invalid ballots.
*******
DATESTAMP: 2009 // ELECTRONIC VOTER REGISTRATION >> HB 2386
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: COMPARTMENTALIZE ILLEGAL VOTER REGISTRATIONS
Passed under emergency declaration, HB 2386 directs the Secretary of State to adopt electronic voter registration system. The bill defines a “qualified person” as anyone with a) an Oregon driver license b) Oregon driver permit and/or c) State identification card.
DECLASSIFIED: The bill does not mention U.S. citizenship as a qualification to register. Oregon is a “Sanctuary State” that provides ID cards and driver licenses to illegal aliens, without question, and has been registering illegal voters since the date of this bill. Oregon’s sanctuary status attracts high numbers of illegal migrants. Whether or not illegal migrants in Oregon are violating federal law and registering to vote, their data can be used to electronically register and cast invalid ballots to be counted in our elections.
*******
DATESTAMP: 2015 // AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION >> HB 2177
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: TOTAL REGIME CHANGE
HB 2177 requires the Department of Transportation send information and signatures, of any individual applying for drivers license, ID card or change of address, to the Secretary of State for automatic voter registration, under emergency declaration. The bill includes provisions that auto register people under the age of 18; prevents public records requests of under-age registered voters; defines DMV applications as voter registration cards; directs county clerks to register incomplete registration cards; allows anyone to prepare, print and distribute registration cards with permission from Secretary of State; requires Secretary of State to approve voter registration forms developed by any agency designated as a voter registration agency; eliminates address requirement for voter registration; requires self attestation for citizenship; requires no questions asked by county clerk regarding attestation; protects from disqualification of elector due to errors in automatic registration; and increases maximum size of precinct from 5,000 to 10,000. Bill sponsors removed their names pursuant to House Rule 12.00. Val Hoyle and Dan Rayfield led the Subcommittee on General Government in passing this bill in 5-4 vote. It was then sent to Ways and Means by Order of the Speaker (at the time, Tina Kotek), before being passed on the House Floor.
DECLASSIFIED: This is the smoking gun in commencing the silent takeover of Oregon’s government. This action directed the Secretary of State to fill the voter rolls with invalid electors while preventing the public and elected County Clerks from investigating the outcome. Doubling the size of precincts further disenfranchises minority party voters and makes it nearly impossible to inspect voter rolls at the precinct level.
*******
DATESTAMP: 2019 // STATE PAYS BALLOT POSTAGE >> SB 861
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: EXPAND THE PSY-OP // INCREASE NUMBER OF INVALID BALLOTS >> SB 861
SB 861 was a bipartisan bill authorizing the Secretary of State to pay for ballot return envelopes; appropriates funds. The bill also allows out of state individuals to vote by mail, who are NOT overseas or active military and without ID verification; allows electors, not affiliated to a political party, to vote by mail in partisan primary elections upon request; validates electronic signature for online voter registrations. Dan Rayfield (D), who is now the Oregon Attorney General, was the Chief Sponsor. Christine Drazan (R) and David Brock Smith (R) co-sponsored.
DECLASSIFIED: Increases probability of receipt of invalid ballots through initiating interference with primary elections from non-party ballots, enables Secretary of State to mail interstate ballots to potential non-residents, allows electronic signature to register to vote without ID verification, and expands registrations of illegal aliens (living in any state) to further disenfranchise real voters with a flood of false ballots.
*******
DATESTAMP: 2021 // ALLOWS ACCEPTANCE OF VALID AND INVALID BALLOTS AFTER ELECTION DAY >> HB 3291
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: DETERMINE ALL ELECTION OUTCOMES
HB 3291 allows ballot returns for seven days after election day with post mark on or before election day and requires county clerks to accept ballots, without a postmark, within seven days after election day. It enables county clerks to begin opening and counting ballots, as they are received, prior to election day. Extends certification of election results to 37 days after election day. This bill was sponsored by Dan Rayfield and Rob Wager and co-sponsored exclusively by Democrats.
DECLASSIFIED: This enables government officials to collect election results data in real-time and determine how many ballots are needed, to achieve desired results, both prior to and after election day.
*******
DATESTAMP: 2021 // REACTIVATES MORE THAN 500K INACTIVE VOTER REGISTRATIONS >> HB 2681
COUNTER OBJECTIVE: CIVILIAN NEUTRALIZATION // INCREASE NUMBER OF INVALID BALLOTS IN CIRCULATION
HB 2681 prohibits the Secretary of State and County Clerks from removing inactive voters from election systems and reactivated all currently inactive voters due to not voting or updating registrations. This usually occurs when a voter becomes diseased or moved out of state.
DECLASSIFIED: This occurred one year before the Gubernatorial election in which the Republican Nominee lost by 50,000 votes. As the goal of Civilian Neutralization becomes more and more obvious to everyday Oregonians, Democrats must continue to increase the number of explainable invalid ballots to maintain the public perception that we still have elections in Oregon.
