Trump, Vance Opted Out of Oregon’s Voter Guide, Contrary to Online Claims of ‘Voter Fraud’

Oregon has a long-standing practice, dating to 1903, of providing voters with a pamphlet containing information about the candidates in each election. In the 2024 election, both former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, chose not to submit statements for the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet, the secretary of state and Oregon Republican officials said.

However, a video posted on Facebook on Oct. 21 questioned the absence of statements from the top two Republican candidates, accusing Oregon election officials of “voter manipulation” and “voter fraud.”

“Where JD Vance should be, it’s blank. … They don’t even put Donald Trump on the thing,” the man says in the video.

The suggestion of impropriety was initially made by the conservative account Libs of TikTok on Oct. 10 on X, where it received more than 1 million views, according to the platform. “Oregon voter pamphlets do not include Donald Trump. He also is not listed on the Oregon State Government website under presidential candidates,” the post read. “What’s going on?”
