Oregon Group Alleges Petitions Were Forged

Mon, Jul 21 2008

A union-funded watchdog group has asked the state to investigate whether signatures on initiative petitions circulated by conservative activists were forged.

Meanwhile, the conservative activists have gone to federal court to try to force the state to ease or overturn new restrictions.

The complaint filed by the watchdog group Our Oregon alleges that at least four signatures, including of Ellen Clay, of Keizer, were forged on current election-cycle petitions.
