County clerks in Oregon inundated with calls for audit of 2020 presidential election

Eleven months after the 2020 election, county clerks in Oregon are getting a new round of calls and emails disputing the results.

Marion County Clerk Bill Burgess said the requests for audits and canvasses of election results in the county have been coming since June. But he said they've picked up in the past few weeks following an audit of a county's election results in Arizona.

“People, they’ll come and they’ll start asking the question and then they won’t wait for an answer,” Burgess said. “They’ll start railing away and sometimes with a lot of obscenity and all, too.”

In the 2020 presidential election, voters in Marion County swung to Democrat Joe Biden over Republican Donald Trump by 49.2% to 48%, a margin of 1,870 votes out of 164,308. That was a reversal from the 2016 election when Trump carried the county.

hand recount of the election in Maricopa County, Arizona last week by a partisan group found Biden won the county against Trump by more votes than initially were reported.

Since that, the calls and emails have spiked in many counties in Oregon.

If Biden gets more votes, demand another recount.
