In the history of Oregon there are several surprising victories we Republicans have had.  It’s sad there are so few..

2016 – Dennis Richardson’s win for Secretary of State.  I don’t know what, if any Ballot Harvesting, took place in this election.  I think it was Brad Avakian’s attack on the Christian bakers, and his own party’s dislike for him that caused his defeat.

2010 – 6 surprising victories in House races tying the House at 30 to 30.  Surprising winners were Katie Eyre, Patrick Sheehan, Matt Wand, Shawn Lindsey, Julie Parrish, and Mark Johnson.  A large Ballot Harvesting Project took place in this year to assist Republican Candidates!

Several Democratic House members lost in their re-election bids: Susan VanOrman, and Judy Stiegler, Nick Kahl.
In the last ten years, how many sitting Senators or House members have lost their re-election bids?   No Democrats, running for re-election, have lost in a General Election Since 2010!

In the Senate, Alan Olsen defeated Martha Schrader as she ran for re-election.
Chuck Thomsen won the Senate seat vacated by the retirement of Rick Metsger.
Sadly, in the next election (2012), Katie Eyre, Patrick Sheehan, Matt Wand and Shawn Lindsey lost as the project for Ballot Harvesting was discontinued.  In that project, a 55 paid call center, called 375,000 people, 1,000,000 robo calls were made, 50,000 conservative Unaffiliated voters were identified, a major live calling, robo calling and walking project went into making sure more people voted, particularly the conservative Unaffiliated voters.

2002 – Frank Morse beat well-known school board member from Corvallis, Barbara Ross, to win the Senate Seat that sits between Corvallis and Albany.  That seat is now seen as a solidly blue district with one member being the Speaker of the House.  A great effort went into Ballot Harvesting in this race, and Frank Morse, the candidate, walked with volunteers the last 4 days collecting ballots.   Senator Morse won re-election in 2006 and 2010.

I have written a manual on Ballot Harvesting entitled, “A Conservative/Republican Response to Ballot Harvesting”.  The details of the effort in 2010 are discussed there, and how we can go back and recreate an even more successful effort are found there.  Let me know if you want to see a copy!

Has any other group identified the problem and proposed a solution?

Your donations would help us:

  • We have over 55,000 emails but can only email to a portion of them because of cost.
  • We have a list of 668,000 conservative Christians we could send digital messages to.  We need financial resources to reach them.  Download info on this.
  • We could organize county chapters.
  • We could survey unaffiliated voters on important issues like gender to identify them.  That costs money.
