Oregon Elections Division Shuts Down Phone Lines

The Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division shut down its phone lines after being overwhelmed by calls from out-of-state Trump supporters reacting to misinformation regarding the state's voters' pamphlet. While the pamphlet lists Donald Trump as a candidate, it notes he did not submit a statement for inclusion— a decision made by his campaign. This led to confusion and false claims on social media, including from accounts like 'Libs of TikTok', which falsely suggested that Trump had been removed from the pamphlet. Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade criticized the spread of rumors, stating it hindered Oregonians seeking assistance. Despite the misinformation, Trump will still appear on the ballot in Oregon. The office has urged voters to rely on official channels for accurate information.
