Securing Oregon's Elections: Trent and Michaela Hammerson Take on Vote-By-Mail Concerns
Michaela explains the motivations behind her petition and how mail-in voting, while originally promoted for convenience, has opened the door to vulnerabilities that threaten the integrity of the democratic process.
Trent asks the tough questions about transparency, chain of custody, and who really benefits from mail-in voting. Michaela shares her experiences gathering support, navigating state bureaucracy, and facing political opposition. She also speaks to the grassroots movement rising up in Oregon—people from all walks of life who are fed up with feeling like their vote no longer counts.
Throughout the episode, Trent and Michaela highlight how Oregon’s system can serve as a warning for other states and why it's critical to return to in-person voting with proper ID and oversight. With voter confidence at an all-time low, this timely conversation sheds light on what’s at stake and why ordinary citizens are taking action to protect the future of fair elections.
