俄勒冈州务卿办公室测试网站一度公开显示11月3日选举测试数据 官方澄清并非真实选票
10月24日，俄勒冈州亚姆希尔县媒体报道，俄勒冈州务卿办公室控制的一个测试网站一度可在互联网上公开访问，页面显示标注为11月3日大选非官方结果的数字，包括各县和各竞选项目的票数。截至10月24日下午1时太平洋时间的页面显示，全州已计票64453张，占2875910名登记选民的2.24%，亚姆希尔县页面显示162票，各县数字均为类似的小额数字。
报道明确指出，这些数字并非选民投出的选票，也不是各县已经收到或清点的选票，而是逻辑与准确性测试中生成的测试数据。俄勒冈州法律要求各县在选举前对计票系统进行逻辑与准确性测试，公开认证测试须在选举前七天内举行，亚姆希尔县书记官已于10月8日发布通知，宣布公开认证测试于10月15日上午9时举行，德舒特县则于10月20日进行了类似测试。
州务卿办公室的测试网站公开可见一事，提醒选民在选举日前后看到的所谓提前结果须先核对是否为测试数据。

Oregon Secretary of State Test Site Briefly Showed Nov. 3 Test Data; Officials Say Not Real Votes
On October 24, a Yamhill County outlet in Oregon reported that a test website controlled by the Oregon Secretary of State's office was briefly publicly accessible on the internet, showing figures labeled as unofficial results for the November 3 general election, including vote counts by county and contest. As of 1 p.m. Pacific Time on October 24, the page showed 64,453 ballots counted statewide — 2.24% of 2,875,910 registered voters — with Yamhill County showing 162 votes and other counties similarly small numbers.
The report made clear these figures were not ballots cast by voters, nor ballots received or counted by counties, but test data generated during logic-and-accuracy testing. Oregon law requires counties to run logic-and-accuracy tests on their counting systems before an election, with public certification testing held within seven days of the election. The Yamhill County clerk issued notice on October 8 that public certification testing would take place at 9 a.m. on October 15, and Deschutes County ran a similar test on October 20.
The episode is a reminder to voters that any purported early results seen around Election Day should first be checked for whether they are test data.
