MCRP in PDX is no longer batshit crazy, thus Extremist batshit crazy Dems are worried. Monday night's turn-out of 25 candidates and 9 governor candidates showed a number of good candidates have put their hats into the ring.

Multnomah County Republican Party held a well attended forum of meet & greet, a panel of governor candidates and Congressional candidates. MCRP's invite went out to all candidates, unbiased and not using any qualification vetting to cull anyone out. The vibe, the tone, the respect, the organizational ability earned kudos from those attending. Some candidates who haven't gotten much visual play showed there is a depth of field that voters will want to know about.  

 How did the Democrats show they are worried? Some primary candidates in the Republican Party got a two page "drop out of the primary race now" letters in the mail. Kind of like Tokyo Rose announcements to the US troops in World War II about how terrible things were for them, that things were going badly so quit fighting. Now, finding out how MCRP has turned itself around and gotten its act together, there is reason for the extremist Democrats, yes, the extremes do need to worry.  When Governor Tina Kotek with great hubris blew off 94% of Oregonians who told her "No to tax hikes", the Democrat caucus in the Salem legislature didn't bother to tally how many emails they received from citizens saying no. No citizens mattered, Tina did not care about her Democrat base in the slightest.

Some Democrat legislators didn't like what Tina was doing, but she pulled out her "whip" and told them to get in line. Tina's role modeling so extreme, yet so casual Rep. Jason Kropf did such a "whipping" in full view of a camera and an audience to Rep. Tran when she voted in a way he (Tina) didn't like. Democrats dirty laundry has been piling up. In families who have secrets it's always, "Nobody needs to see our dirty laundry." Oregonians are seeing Tina's dirty laundry right now.

There are some credible Republican candidates running, two of them for governor who would have wide appeal with non-Republican voters. Given the metric out of the "No Tax Oregon" campaign, ten percent of Democrats are, likely, angry at the governor over taxes. 

Now Oregon has two governor candidates who would appeal to non-Republican voters, including Brad T. Peters who spoke at the MCRP candidate forum, Monday night, March 30, 2026 with some very specific ideas and solutions. Peters has that down to earth, calm presence similar to Chris Dudley who only missed winning the governor's race in 2010 by 22,000 votes.  People are drawn to and like hanging with these types of guys.

Peters could be a DOGE kind of guy bringing transparency to all Oregon government agencies. Peters could draw in the younger voting population to his candidacy. He'd also get the rural vote being from a Roseburg logging family, a homesteader who built his own log home on 70 acres, but also like Dudley has an educational background, including an MBA and a business background with such big corporations as IBM and Intel.  Some of Peters' solutions below:With over ten or so candidates in the governor's field if Oregon voters do their due diligence, guard their vote like it's their most valuable asset, don't give it impulsively, out of all their interactions with the candidates they can make the right choice in the May 19th primary election; and perhaps choose the candidate a majority of Oregonians might agree with in the general election, November 3, 2026.

The race for the Oregon governor has many primary candidates and Oregonians are going out to their meet and greets, doing their due diligence as to who will be the candidate that a majority of Oregonians would find trustworthy. The room was packed with attentive voters who will have to pick the nominee who can get over 250,000 non-Republican votes to win. Will this be the historical general election where the non-affiliated voter gets respect?There is still enough time for voters to come out for meet and greets and other panel forums to make that choice of what is for the greatest good of all Oregonians?

Voters hoodwinked again. Voter pamphlet in Multnomah County does NOT go to its 576,399 registered voters. Only by bulk mail to 350,000 residential addresses. NONE of the Voters' pamphlets are addressed to registered voters.

Voters have a right to vote, but voters don't have a right to know what they are voting on. In 2022 Multnomah County elections did not respond as to how many voters did not get election information that year. The answer? Over 226,000. The 350,000 pamphlets mailed out, it is hit or miss if they get to any registered voter. These are simply "bulk mail" to addresses in general. 

With all the shenanigans that have gone on with the Portland media companies and newspapers, some Oregonians think it’s laughable that the Voter Pamphlet says “You have the right to Vote”, but the reality is voters don’t have a right to hear from all candidates…which then only leaves the ones PDX media wants to either showcase or shadow ban. 

No wonder that Multnomah County Elections ignored this question in May 2022. Pamphlets are not sent to "registered" voters.

To add to this game there are likely 154,000 inactive voters. Oregon government, the Secretary of State, flies the banner of wanting all registered voters to vote. Then why do they retain an inactive file? What is the real use of this inactive voter list?

TPNW editor, who is running for state representative office in District #44 in north Portland had to make a separate request in February 2026 to get a walking list of about 1800 in precinct 4406 of the seven precincts in District #44. Why wouldn't elections want those1800 in that precinct to not get canvassing materials and not to get out the vote (GOTV) visits to encourage them to vote?

Thus far the visits to those on the inactive list showed they don't live there. Why keep a list of them at all? Election cybersecurity expert, Mark Cook, in 2022 testifying as an expert in the Washington County vs Tim Sippel trial testified that machines used, they all have a "backdoor" to easily access and simply change vote totals.

 

 Mark is now getting some national exposure when 10 seconds of Mark's testimony to Georgia got edited out of Mark's testimony of how easily vote changing in these machines can happen.

 Here's the short version of the major scandal in Georgia:

"Ridiculous waste of money to count dots." -Mark Cook

 

From 2018 when the TPNW editor began doing elections observations, Multnomah County Elections refused to identify who their IT guy(s) were. It turned out it was Dan Forester who walked us observers through testing the voting machine for "accuracy" which now some observers see as also being "theater" along with adjudication and signature verification processes.

 When it turned out in 2022 it was Dan Forester who was the IT guy, who had left to head up Washington County's elections, the editor was referred by Elections Director, Tim Scott to go Dan to answer the question about the adjudication process, the editor encountered Dan at the Tim Sippel trial, but when asked about adjudication, Dan simply walked away, refusing to answer.

How deep and how corrupt might all these shenanigans have grown since vote by mail was plugged into the election system in 1987?  An easy one day election turned into weeks and weeks on end to now "count". Adjudication and signature verification all theater with observers the "extra" cast members to make it all look valid? That's this observer's opinion from observing since 2018.

 

When a voter gets their ballot does it include a flyer with an on-line link to the Voters pamphlet? Or is that buried as well. The Secretary of State wants all registered voters to vote? But not have information as to what they are voting on?

 

Voters have a right to vote, but voters don't have a right to know what they are voting on.
