We're stuck with you, so get to work, because the alternative sucks. 1. Make peace with Diehl and Medina ASAP - their endorsements will go a long way towards pulling in voters who likely detest you enough to sit out the November election. There's a unity breakfast coming up if memory serves - be sure you're there. 2. Gonna have to prove you have more backbone now than you showed last time. Get with your advisers on how to project that. 3. GOTV is critical. Columbia County had a 60% turnout among GOP voters, and 42% overall turnout. Get with Traci Brumbles at the Columbia County GOP CC and learn their secrets. 4. Support and get someone on your team after every viable voter integrity effort in Oregon. Federal anti-cheat efforts help, but Democrats are creative at cheating, so you cannot afford to let up on eliminating all potential cheating where it can be found.

There is going to be a large discussion in coming days about our Oregon primary. I was contacted by a US senator along with local/state candates. They did the same thing I did and found similar discrepancies. I called it a little messy. One of them called it an abomination. They are upset, rightfully so. Some people received NAV ballots which should have never received one. There are reports of people trying to get a provisional ballot and being told that they were changed in the system and it would be up to date in the next election. Yet being told to use the ballot they have. This is a complete mess @ORSecretaryRead Our SOS needs to help with this. I am not sure if he is all hands on deck and knows or he is being diverted from this mess. Either way, I am sure he will call on his team to look into why these thing are happening I read a handful of posts where 16 years olds got ballots in the mail. This shouldn't happen at all. If he reads this I would like to add. There is no reason the state should be touching voter registration when someone moved within the state. The only times the state should intervene with a registration is: 1. Voter has moved out of state and confirmed by USPS by forwarding address. 2. The voter has passed away. 3. A voter is not eligible to be voting in our elections.

@HookerBirdy The postmarked has to be day of, but yes... so why are we talking thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of ballots, instead of hundreds?

@Random_Walk_PDX Oregon law allows 7 days after postmark to be counted.

...why are that many ballots being received after election day in MultCo? I get a minor trickle of late-but-postmarked-properly ballots, but almost 1 in 10?

@GovTinaKotek Nearly $1/gallon is tax that you control, you silly bint. But sure, lie if you think you must.

Oregonians are feeling the financial pressure from high fuel prices and escalating inflation driven by the Trump administration’s conflict with Iran, so I’m thankful that Oregon is maintaining a balanced budget to protect core services. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/05/20/ira…

@TheAdamWaite @thebcpreacher Money is part of it, but so is the internal screwballing... One big example: Jerry Cummings got done wrong.

@Random_Walk_PDX @thebcpreacher So you know how the ORP leadership gets chosen. There's been a ton of turnover in recent years. The main hurdle is money.

🚨BREAKING: Christine Drazan won Oregon tonight, just as I predicted a few months ago. She will go up against the current Democratic Governor of Oregon in November. This is a repeat of the same EXACT race of 2022. Why did I say that Drazan would win? The system is deep, and whoever has money win. Whoever is supported by the ESTABLISHMENT goes forward as their candidate. Yet, we keep voting.. I'm kind of taking Nick Fuentes side.. let it come crashing down. Drazan DOES not have a chance against Tina Kotek Yep I said it!

@TheAdamWaite @thebcpreacher I should elaborate: I jumped in after realizing how few PCPs there are. I realized that the only way to win statewide is to work locally... so I went for it.

@Random_Walk_PDX @thebcpreacher are you a PCP?

@TheAdamWaite @thebcpreacher It's n9t a question of what I want, truth be told... ORP is that flaming incompetent.

@Random_Walk_PDX @thebcpreacher Do you want a party that is run like a machine, or do you want a party that's receptive to non-establishment candidates? Because you can't have both.

@ScottBaisle @ChristineDrazan We'll see. Most of the sniping was fairly contained to social media (esp. from her fanboy Edtl) and texts, which nearly everyone ignores. There's a chance, but she's going to have to bust out the olive branches and start handing them out.

@Random_Walk_PDX @ChristineDrazan She won’t her team already put out Propaganda on Ed. Theres to many of us Never Drazen.

Thank you, Oregon! I am honored to be your Republican nominee for governor of the great state of Oregon! Thank you to all the Republican candidates for a hard fought race. I am so grateful for your commitment to making Oregon a better place. Thank you to my family for supporting me every step of the way. And thank you to voters, my team and volunteers who helped make last night’s victory possible. Now it's time to come together to fire Tina Kotek in November and move Oregon forward. We can make Oregon the best state in the nation to raise our families, buy a home, start a business and receive a world-class education. I am in this fight with you and for you, and together, we are going to make history in November. We can’t afford four more years of Tina Kotek’s taxes and chaos. Let’s get to work.

@Jeff_Eager Let them enjoy the consequences of their voting habits... good and hard. A rare W for us pickup truck owners. 😁

It's kind of funny the one tax/fee hike that survived was on EV drivers.

May want to slow that roll there... here's why: It'd be in their best interests if they did accept and go to that unity breakfast. Drazan needs this more than most. Diehl pulled in enough votes that an endorsement from him is actually worth something to Drazan, especially towards pulling in those GOP voters who otherwise dislike Drazan enough to not vote in November. Also, Diehl is still a force in the legislature, and Drazan, should she win, will need every ounce of help that she can get in a Dem-heavy and hostile Salem. Medina could actually use the continued post-election exposure, and get his networking skills on for the next shot at a public office. This was Bethell's first outing beyond Marion County's borders... it would do her good to stretch out a bit and get herself out there more among the brokers. All the other also-rans can use it to get themselves positioned for other offices on a more local level come next go 'round. Dudley? He's the exception - probably nothing here for him since he is the outsider. I even dare to say that I see him moving back to California in the next 12-18 months.

What are the odds that any of the Republican candidates will accept @Real_EdDiehl's fake unity kumbaya breakfast invite after the crap he and his campaign team pulled this week?

@coolcoder56 Meanwhile, at work: "If you don't up your token usage we'll have to lay you off!"

FAANG & Top Product Based Companies are secretly banning candidates for 10+ years from giving interviews without informing the candidates💀

@WebgirlHere @TigardOR Every levy/tax bid in Columbia County got brutally crushed, except for one (the Scappoose Public Library levy, which barely passed by around 200 votes).

Imagine how pissed the local officials were who had their referendums scheduled for the May ballot and then Kotek comes blowing in with this monster. All that I saw were going down. Especially @TigardOR outrageous 150M for 30 years for nothing but office space under the dishonest disguise of 'public safety.' It was glorious.

Next stop: brace for impact come the next legislative session, because you know these snakes will try at it again...

@moistjoye @thebcpreacher The good news is, at least one of the two major parties in Oregon can be reshaped... if enough folks get in there and fight for it. Oregon GOP only has roughly half the Precinct Committee Person slots filled. Odds are perfect there's an open slot in your precinct.

@Random_Walk_PDX @thebcpreacher both parties suck. faith in either is a massive mistake.

Defeating it is somewhat easy: Block the list owner, then unblock. You're no longer on his little list, and he'll never know you left it (especially if it's some rando 'tard with huge lists that just harass.) IMO perhaps lists should be restricted to Verified users only, or a feature that unlocks once you get 500 or more followers.

Lists have been weaponized - these are some of the stupid ones I was added to. Lists should be opt in - if you get added to one, it should ask you for approval. People use lists to mass report and spam you, their actual legit usage is questionable.

@wbuppert Bonus: The city sewer system will get a break for at least a couple of days...

Yep.

@ChrisLemke4OR @RepCyrusJavadi Who got the GOP primary win for that? Christian Honl eked it out for the tiny slice of Columbia County in that district (87 votes; Sherman got 83 and Dean got 82.) Javadi took the Dem primary at 157 (no one else)... this means Honl will likely win that district in ColCo.

Oregon! As the gas tax went down in flames due to the will of the people, I just wanted to say a final F you to the more than ever irrelevant former Republican and now Demoncrat state Rep Cyrus Javadi 🖕🏼@RepCyrusJavadi

@LinkedInLunat1c ...which government?
