False Claims Overwhelm Oregon Elections Office, Prompting Phone Line Shutdown

The Oregon Secretary of State's office was inundated with calls due to misinformation about Trump's absence from the voters' pamphlet.

The Oregon Secretary of State's Elections Division shut down its phone lines after receiving a flood of calls regarding false claims about election interference.
The misinformation originated from a social media post falsely stating that Donald Trump was not included in the Oregon voters' pamphlet.
Trump's name is listed on the ballot, and his campaign chose not to submit a statement for the pamphlet.
The majority of the approximately 400 calls were from out-of-state individuals, with some being abusive or threatening.
Oregon law prohibits harassment or threats against election workers, and law enforcement has been notified of the threats received.
