FEBRUARY 2025 — The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alerted the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to Oregon’s apparent violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1960. PILF draws attention to voter roll list maintenance document retention failures – particularly when the State is alerted by the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) to retractions of its reports identifying deceased registrants. The Civil Rights Act requires such documents be kept for at least 22 months – whereas Oregon tells PILF the records are received and destroyed monthly.
