Cats Queued at the Kitty-box

In the interview below, I respond to several important and relevant questions about my campaign for the office of Oregon’s Secretary of State. The interviewers didn’t seem to care much about the major functions of the office, like Chief Elections Officer, Chief State Auditor, or two other major roles, one as a member of the State Land Board or as the chair of the Oregon Sustainability Board. Rather, the interviewers were geared up to establish a beachhead on a couple of fronts: 1) Denial of Quorum, 2) Work Ethic, 3) Election Integrity.

On Election Integrity I focused on TOA – Transparency, Openness and Accountability. I basically said,

Transparency and openness are the most relevant issues needing to be addressed. As an illustration, I participated in 2022, with a request for ballot images in Jackson County, one of the counties in my Senate District. These images are supposed to be available to the public for their perusal.

The county clerk responded with cost estimate of $982,896.17. This is not illustrative of a system that is transparent, fair, or accountable. As citizens we were interested in investigating the question of voter fraud yet were denied access. As a note, all County Clerks have a statutory requirement to keep, maintain and provide access for public review of all data for 2 years following every election.

Only, you can’t see without turning over a cool million-dollar wad of cash.

Did fraud exist; was it widespread or insignificant?

The public still does not know. The public was essentially denied access by the exorbitant one-million-dollar fee. The rule that created this charge came from the Secretary of State not the legislature and is a policy that deserves a thorough review.

I think you’ll see how the very best warriors in the left’s media brigade try to sculpt popular slogans into poignant questions. Like all modern media wizards this team failed to realize that their absurd slant on these important issues simply demeans the good citizens they’re trying to win into Biden’s camp.

It appears as though some form of ideological corruption (maybe, TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome?) has taken hold and I see it as fatal to both Oregon and the Democrat party. Every week we see department and agency heads, the Governor and her spouse, and media outlets all censoring information, hiding data, and covering-up like cats queued at the Kitty-box.

When this interview was published the best the Oregonian reporters could muster was, “based on Linthicum’s strident election denial stance,” the Oregonian declined to endorse anyone on the GOP side of the ticket,

Surprised? 💨
