Late this afternoon, Clackamas County identified the suspect in the felony ballot-tampering investigation as Deanna Swenson of Oregon City, a 55-year-old registered Republican. Clackamas County has fired her.

Swenson confirmed her role to Willamette Week:

When WW reporters came to her home Monday afternoon, Swenson wasn’t in a mood to talk. WW asked her how many ballots were involved, and Swenson replied tearfully, “Only the two.” Swenson declined to answer other questions. She said she has not yet hired an attorney to represent her.

Republican activist caught rigging votes!

By my thinking, one of the advantages of early voting is: ... you can catch them in the act before election day!

Do you believe this woman when she claims only two ballots were altered?
Would you risk five years in prison to alter two ballots?

"The impact of the alleged fraudulent voting, altering mail-in ballots to vote Republican, might resound in many races and locations, from the county courthouse, to the State Capital, to Congress in D.C. The House in Oregon was split 30-30 last session, so even control of the State Legislature enters the equation. The Congressional seat is a close contest because the district swings. This season, even the U.S. Congress could be in the balance, albeit that probability is far less. And, control of the County Commission impacts land development decisions, education, and county services. "
