Who Doesn't Vote?   What do you think? poll!  Important:  Play this video explaining Oregon Political Tax Credit! Did you know that you can see who voted in an election? You can’t see who anybody actually voted for, just that they did vote. That means you can also see who did not vote. Looking at that list of who did not vote is very interesting.   After one recent election I took a look at the list of who did not vote. Funny thing was that there were a lot of people I knew on the list. There were a lot of people who knew how important it was to vote, but they did not vote. Using the list I reached out to some people I recognized. I called them on the phone and asked, "friend did you know that you did not vote in the last election?"  Guess what kind of responses I got to that question of "why they did not vote?" Things like "oh, I gave my ballot to my son and he must’ve forgot to drop it off."  Or, "You are right, I had both our ballots in my coat pocket and forgot to drop them in a ballot collection box."  Others said "I didn’t understand all the initiatives on the ballot so I didn’t complete my ballot and get it in." I had to explain to them that if you don’t understand something you just vote the ballot with what you know and get it in. And on and on like that, there were various excuses for why their ballot didn’t get returned.  Sometimes these were even for good voters who normally voted but for some reason they just didn’t complete the whole activity of actually getting their ballot in.  Sometimes they were surprised as they thought they had voted.  Perhaps they sat down, voted, signed it and sealed it and simply forgot to get the ballot in. This is the kind of thing that happens in vote by mail states.  The action of going to the polling place, standing in line and voting is harder to forget.  This is a sure way of knowing you voted.  Something of the sacredness of voting is lost with vote-by-mail.  People forget, and neglect to complete the effort.  This is why, in the last email, entitled "Is This How the Progressives Muted the "Red Wave"? we noted the progressive/liberals emphasis on creating a list of those they believe should vote, and getting them to vote.  This again underscores the need for Christian worldview conservatives to have far more effective approaches to identifying their votes, maintaining that list, and  helping people get their ballots in.  This is something that conservatives neglect to do. A candidate about a past, losing campaign, noted that, "In the 2021 election, there was a general agreement with our campaign manager about harvesting that ended up being weak in its execution; not one ballot was collected. We don't want to make that mistake again."  We all see that the woke progressive left has captured our State House and represents the Secular Humanist Worldview.  Oregon Faith and Freedom is committed to putting into place an extension of has been done in the past.  As you can see, from the last election, where about $38 million was raised and spent to get the same 43% conservatives always get, something must change.  That change is the development of our own "ground and pound" game.  Are you interested in helping, would you like to receive the manual on a conservative response to "ballot harvesting?"  Email jeffk@oregonfaithandfreedom.org.
