Ballots will be mailed to registered voters by October 25. This voters’ pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION BRENDA BAYES JEANNE P. ATKINS INTERIM DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 ROBERT TAYLOR SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Fellow Oregonian, Voters with up-to-date registrations will soon be receiving their ballots. Whether you are a long time voter or this is your first opportunity to vote, please use this voter guide to find valuable information about the candidates who would like to represent you, and about the changes in Oregon law that are proposed as Ballot Measures. This voters’ pamphlet is sent to every household in Oregon. But you must be registered to vote to receive a ballot to cast in the upcoming election. If you are not yet registered to vote, or have recently moved and not updated your registration, you have a very short window – until October 18, 2016 – to do so. I encourage you to visit www.oregonvotes.gov to check to be sure your registration is up to date. We are fortunate to live in a state that works to get a ballot in the hand of every eligible Oregonian. The Secretary of State’s office is committed to making voting easy and convenient whether you are a first time voter, a voter serving in the military, or a person living with a disability. The health of our democracy depends on your participation. Oregon was the first in the nation to implement an all vote-by-mail system and we consistently have some of the nation’s highest voter turnout rates. This January, we implemented “Oregon Motor Voter” – a program that automatically starts a registration process for qualified Oregonians when they renew or apply for an Oregon driver’s license, permit, or ID card. Thousands of Oregonians who might otherwise not have met the registration deadline will be receiving a ballot this year. If you are one of them, let me welcome you to the democratic process! Your vote is your voice and every single voice matters. It’s your decision whether to mail in the ballot or drop it off in person, but please remember that all ballots must be received by your county elections office by 8 p.m. on November 8th, 2016. Postmarks do not count. The Postal Service can only guarantee delivery in five to seven days, so if you choose to vote close to Election Day, I encourage you to make a plan by finding a local drop box to assure your vote is counted. If you have questions please call our toll-free hotline at 1-866-ORE-VOTE, or visit our website at www.oregonvotes.gov. Oregon is better for your participation in our democracy. Thank you.

  • The 2004 Election a Matter of Faith? 1 David E
    10397-01_Ch01.qxd 3/26/07 10:41 AM Page 1 The 2004 Election A Matter of Faith? 1 David E. Campbell ew observers of American politics deny that in recent Fyears religion has come to play an increasingly important role in the nation’s elections, especially the presidential election. To some, per- haps many, religion may appear to be a new factor in national politics. But today’s focus on religion is really just a variation on what has been a common theme throughout U.S. history. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson had to deal with accusations that he was an atheist; in the late 1800s, William Jennings Bryan invoked biblical themes to support economic policy; in 1928, Al Smith faced anti-Catholic mobs on the campaign trail; in 1960, John F. Kennedy too had to forestall anti-Catholic sentiment that, while muted when compared with what Smith faced in 1928, lingered nonetheless. Religion, then, has long been a feature in national elections. Yet that does not mean that the religious cleavages of the past correspond to those of the pres- ent. Rather, the last thirty years have seen a re-sorting of the parties’ electoral coalitions along religious lines. No longer are Democrats and Republicans divided along the old lines, defined by whether they are Catholic or Protestant. Instead of religious denomination, the parties are divided by religious devo- tional style—that is, a way of being religious. People who are more devout— regardless of denomination—are more likely to favor the GOP. Obviously, such a statement is a generalization.

Larsen, BA Political Science College of Arts and Sciences March 12, 2018 Faculty Mentors: John Gruhl, PhD, Political Science 1 Abstract This project sought to analyze how sexual assault in the political sphere is perceived and treated in contemporary society in the United States of America. The thesis analyzed eight cases of sexual misconduct, including six from the past thirty years. In each case, the reaction of party and social leaders, of the politician’s constituents and of the politician himself were looked at, as well as the consequences the politician faced. The results were then analyzed side-by-side to discover similarities and differences between ho cases of sexual assault allegations were treated and in terms of what happened to the politician after the allegations came out.

I know it is hard to know what information to trust with all the information and misinformation we experience in our lives today, especially during a presidential election. Yours is a difficult job to sort through it all to make an informed decision. And while I know it is hard, I know you can and will do it. We recognize that with unlimited sources of information it can be challenging to find informa- tion that is accurate and trustworthy. Fortunately, there are some simple questions you can ask yourself to help identify misinformation: 1) Is there any data or evidence presented to support the information? 2) Does this information seem designed to push my political buttons? 3) Is there something about this information that doesn’t seem right or too bizarre to be true? 4) Who is sharing this information? 5) Does this individual or group have an agenda? Be an informed voter and don’t believe everything you see or hear.
