After the last presidential election, the results were called into question. Every state ratified its results a little over a month after the election. The time gap between the election and the final results provided an opportunity to cast doubt on the results. The delay is also reason to have confidence in the elections. We have extraordinary election security by any historical or worldwide standard.
Aeric loves elections. He watches them like a football game (albeit a slow-moving football game). He talks a bit about the process of counting ballots and even what it meant to him as a candidate. We hope this helps you have confidence in the process…just in case it is questioned again this year.
NOTES:
- Aeric discovers there is an ESTEP program for election security. What a great name!
- Federal Election Assistance Commission website.
- Election certification deadlines.
- Oregon Election Timeline for 2024 from Oregon Secretary of State
