Captain Seth Keshel was in Oregon at the 2021 Gathering of Eagles presenting his analysis for strengthening the vote. His analytical method of election forecasting and analytics is known worldwide.

Keshel presents a summary of President Trump’s Executive Order that is titled, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” It precedes the Make Elections Secure Act (MESA) proposed in Congress, which is said to end stolen elections forever.

Keshel says the most encouraging part of President Trump’s remarks while signing the order is that they’ve got plenty of other items they would like to address in the coming weeks to end “fake elections.”

Some key highlight to the Executive Order are:

1. Cuts down on illegals in the voter rolls by sharing data with DHS and requiring a citizenship question on the national voter registration form.
2. Federal election-related funds will be conditioned on states complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.
3. Improves the integrity of elections by directing the updating of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security standards for voting equipment and prioritizing federal grant funds accordingly.
4. Sets a single Election Day deadline, the Attorney General shall take appropriate action against states that count ballots received after Election Day in Federal elections. Federal election funding will be conditioned on compliance.
5. Instructs Department of Justice to prosecute election crimes and foreign interference.
6. Repeals Biden’s Executive Order 14019, “Promoting Access to Voting,” which engages government in voter registration and other items that corrupt elections.

Leadership in the Oregon legislature seem to be operating in a vacuum. Out of the six points listed, only now, are they moving to keep a few bills alive with public hearings.

1. HB 3470 requires verification of citizenship to register to vote. Public hearing was held March 12.
2. No action to use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.
3. No action to update voting equipment affecting federal grant funds accordingly.
4. SB 210 In-person voting day of election. Public hearing held March 31, open for testimony.
5. No action on prosecuting election interference.
6. HB 2444 limits voter registration to citizens with ID. Bill has not received a hearing. SB 1046 violates the executive order by automatically registering voters who do business with the Department of Fish and Wildlife – received a public hearing March 31, open for testimony.

   All of the above bills are Republican sponsored bills. The election bill Democrats proposed is HB 3166, which adopts ranked-choice voting after 60% of voters voted against it in the last election. It also incorporates an open primary.
   
   The Trump administration isn’t playing games. They have ended Oregon’s COVID grants a year early, the Portland school district is under federal investigation for allowing a male to compete in female sports, and revoked wavers for Oregon universities utilizing federal funds for illegal migrants. Governor Kotek, as Superintendent of Schools, refuses to cut DEI out of schools. The noncompliance will surely see a large cut in federal school funds. Oregonians have to ask legislators, why fight a losing battle with taxpayer’s money, put Oregon in financial straights and cheat students?
