"I would invite any election officials who are having difficulty figuring out how to compare signatures or verify request for absentee ballot, we are happy to give a seminar in my state."

"If we could figure it out in Oregon more than two decades ago, is not it possible for every jurisdiction to figure out how to issue an absentee ballot with integrity?"

"You do not want people to vote, you can change the location of the precinct voting place."

"we so appreciate your experience as Secretary of State and bringing that to bear on these election issues."
