PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Oregon Secretary of State Lavonne Griffin-Valade ordered an immediate update of more than 300 voter registrations after hundreds of non-citizens were added to voter rolls over the last three years.

State officials have identified 306 non-citizens who made it onto the Oregon voter rolls. Two non-citizens likely voted, Griffin-Valade's office said. Her office continues to look into whether there are any more.

It stemmed from errors by the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles. Beginning in 2016, Oregon's Motor Voter Law automatically registers people to vote when they get or renew a drivers license. In 2021, a bill let people get drivers licenses in the state without proof of citizenship -- but they do have to show ID.

Oregon DMV officials said the errors happened when staff mistakenly entered things like foreign birth certificates or foreign passports as identification.

State Rep. Janelle Bynum, who is running for Congress in Oregon's 5th District, called for an investigation by the Oregon Department of Justice.

"I believe that the right to a free and fair election is, quite simply, non-negotiable. That's why I've called for the attorney general to launch an investigation, full scale, into these allegations because it's absolutely unacceptable," Bynum told KOIN 6 News.

Tobias Read, the Democrat running for Oregon Attorney General, told KOIN 6 News he was appalled by the situation.

His Republican opponent, Dennis Linthicum, said this is what the Democrats had in mind.

"The entire political agenda for the Democrat majority has been to allow illegals to vote in the Oregon election and I'm not afraid to say that straight up," Linthicum told KOIN 6 News. "I think that's what we're seeing."

Republican State Rep. Ed Diehl from East Salem, said he was disappointed but not surprised by the news.

"We see this happening in other states and it was only a matter of time before it happened here," Diehl said. "So, I'm disappointed that it took so long for us to figure this out."

Both the DMV and the Secretary of State's Office said they are taking steps to make sure this doesn't happen again, including additional prompts for data entry and better verification of identification.

And they said they remain confident about Oregon's election integrity -- and that the election this November will not be affected. The Secretary of State's office said this affects .01% of Oregon's approximately 3 million voters.

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
