Bruce, we've had twenty years for those problems to happen, and they haven't. That's how you know.

People can actually have their ballot rejected because the signature on their ballot is deemed to "not match" their signature on file. To the question, is "a matching signature" a valid way of determining who a person is-- is it better or worse than showing up in person with a non-photo ID*, like a utility bill with your name on it? *You can do this in 17 states.

Secretary of State Dennis Richardson (R), determined we had .002 percent [of "suspicious ballots"] in the 2016 election. Richardson said it’s time for President Trump to back up what he says [about voter fraud] with facts. When officials make unsubstantiated claims ... “it causes greater distrust of the government. … I want to make sure that the citizens of the state can trust their [voting] system.” Understand, Bruce?

VOTER PARTICIPATION is what makes a Democracy, and Turnout in Oregon increased more between 2012 and 2016 than in any other state. Overall voter turnout in the state reached 68 percent in the 2016 presidential election, up from 64 percent during the 2012 non-AVR [automatic voter registration] election period. Nationally, voter turnout increased by only 1.6 points.

More people voting is GOOD. Democracy is GOOD.
