    It’s true he’s not in the pamphlet by his own design.

    It’s not true that there’s a statement why.

      The list and statement are on page 26, where they list all the candidates.

          Ah the age old riddle “if a voters pamphlet has a statement on a page no one reads, is it really there?”

      We got our ballots in the mail today, I can confirm Donald J. Trump is very much printed on there as the Republican candidate for U.S. President.

    How hard would it have been to print:

    This candidate declined to provide a summary for the Oregon Voter Pamphlet.

      Because that’s what a candidate not having a statement has always meant, and it’s never been a problem before.

      edit: Also if you look at the post by jordanlund the page that lists the candidates shows an asterisk by the people that didn’t supply a statement.

        The problem is you forgot to account for bad faith actors and their army of idiots.

          Nope, they would just claim that the actual statement wasn’t included.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
