Which was told to you by the people who were elected by this system, I wouldn't expect them to say otherwise. I will say I trust it more than internet voting.

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?

I understand this is a statement from a career politician who doesn't want the boat that's carried him, to be rocked. It's harder to rape and pillage when the public doesn't trust you.

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.

If those people know they are voting. Even better if they care about taking the time to know what they are voting for.
