In her resignation letter, Scroggin said misinformation and disinformation — which refers to misinformation created and spread intentionally as a way to mislead or confuse — “have made the work of administering elections extremely challenging.”

Elections Director Deborah Scroggin told Secretary of State Shemia Fagan in her resignation letter Friday that “we are at an extraordinarily challenging time for elections officials.”

Scroggin said she will seek other opportunities elsewhere and that her resignation is effective on Jan. 20.

The main “myths” that elections officials in Oregon are confronting are that the 2020 election was stolen, that vote-by-mail elections can’t be trusted, that machine tabulators are fraudulent and that ballot boxes are not secure, said Oregon Elections Director Deborah Scroggin.

A recent conference hosted by MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell, a major 2020 election denier, caused a flood of demands for information, Scroggin said.
