Rep. Andrea Salinas’ Statement Following Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Trump to Advance Voter Suppression Plan

SALEM, OR — Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision that clears the way for President Trump to move forward with parts of his executive order restricting mail-in voting.

“The Supreme Court just cleared the way for President Trump to move forward with his plan to restrict mail-in voting, a thinly veiled attempt at voter suppression.

“For decades, Oregonians have voted entirely by mail, and our elections have been safe, secure, and accurate. Today’s ruling is an attack on every Oregonian’s right to vote, but it’s not the end of the fight. Every Oregonian has a right to cast their ballot and have it counted. I will keep supporting the legal battle against Trump’s unlawful executive order, and I will keep fighting to protect our vote-by-mail system.

“The more Trump tries to silence Oregonians, the more we will make our voices heard. Come November, Oregonians will vote overwhelmingly to hold Trump, Congress, and every other institution that has enabled his corruption, accountable.”
