Tobias Read

Secretary of State Tobias Read is asking for more money to help ensure voters can skip mailing their ballot this year.

Courts have ruled twice this week on the Trump administration’s efforts to limit voting by mail, most recently blocking new U.S. Postal Service restrictions Thursday.

Election officials will begin mailing ballots to most Oregon voters in mid-October.

The agreement comes after Secretary of State Tobias Read announced changes to the state’s practices in January.

Congress is considering a bill that would effectively ban mail- in voting in states like Oregon, and add new ID requirements experts say could make it far harder to register to vote. Oregon lawmakers have also criticized the SAVE Act.

Tobias Read said on Tuesday that he has "no doubt" in his mind that President Trump is setting up to try to cancel future elections.

The Trump administration may be losing its fight over access to Oregon voters’ private data. On Wednesday, a federal judge in Eugene said he’d tentatively decided to dismiss the federal government’s lawsuit.

Secretary of State Tobias Read says he’s not inclined to share information with the federal government.

Secretary of State Tobias Read, a Democrat, says the order would disenfranchise eligible voters without increasing security.

The state revealed last year it had registered more than 1,600 potential noncitizens to vote.

Incoming Secretary of State Tobias Read announced the hire on Monday.

With a new secretary on the way in, the state elections director and the office’s executive team are among those on the way out.
