County clerks in Oregon inundated with calls for audit of 2020 presidential election
Eleven months after the 2020 election, county clerks in Oregon are getting a new round of calls and emails disputing the results.
Marion County Clerk Bill Burgess said the requests for audits and canvasses of election results in the county have been coming since June. But he said they've picked up in the past few weeks following an audit of a county's election results in Arizona.
