Why Oregon’s Kasich delegates went to Trump
GOP rules align with the RNC in
this instance, rather than state law,
the Kasich delegates were unbound.
Other nuances caused similar
situations in several other states
that day, such as when Utah’s entire
delegation, for instance, went to
Trump instead of Cruz. The shifting
of some Kasich and Cruz delegates
that ensued thereafter didn’t have
a material impact on the outcome
of Trump’s nomination, but it
aggravated tensions from Monday
when the RNC refused the ‘Never
Trump’ movement’s push to unbind
delegates.
The discord in those irst two
days, followed by Cruz’s refusal to
endorse Trump during his speech
Wednesday, stood at odds with the
RNC’s push to unify the fractured
party ahead of November.
As things were set to wrap up
in Cleveland Thursday evening
with Trump’s acceptance speech,
Oregon’s delegation was somewhat
mixed about party unity. For Reyn-
olds, the Trump campaign has more
convincing to do.
“Trump hasn’t done enough to
bring the party together,” Reynolds
said. “It’s not a Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
thing or a Donald Trump thing.
It’s ‘are you going to hold up the
conservative values that we hold
dear?”’
Starr would like to see Kasich run
again in 2020, but in the meantime
he hopes the vacant Supreme Court
seat is reason enough to support
Trump in November.
By KRISTENA HANSEN

PORTLAND — When Oregon’s
delegation trekked to Cleveland for
the Republican National Conven-
tion this week, they did so knowing
exactly how the delegates from the
415,700 Republicans who casted
primary ballots months ago were
originally allocated: 18 votes for
Donald Trump, ive for Texas Sen.
Ted Cruz and ive for Ohio Gov.
John Kasich.
State law requires, or “binds,”
delegates to their prescribed candi-
dates for the irst two voting rounds
in most cases. But during Tuesday’s
roll call — right before Trump sealed
the nomination with a vote from his
home state of New York — Oregon
Republican Party Chair Bill Currier
approached the microphone with
a different tally for the record: 23
votes for Trump and ive for Cruz.
Bruce Starr, a former state
lawmaker who also worked on
Kasich’s local leadership team, said
he and the other Kasich delegates
huddled on the convention loor and
agreed to instead support Trump “in
order to create at least an impression
of order and party unity.”
The Kasich delegates, as it turned
out, weren’t bound to any candidate.
Under state-party and RNC rules,
the ive could vote as they pleased
— a freedom usually only afforded
to superdelegates, which the Oregon
GOP eliminated earlier this year
amid scrutiny nationwide over their

of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday.
fairness to voters.
“I approached them and said,
‘Here’s the situation, how do you
want to proceed?”’ Currier recalled
telling the Kasich delegates that day
on the loor. “But I had talked about
it in group meetings several times.”
But others like Jeff Reynolds —
who was off-site when his alternate
Kasich delegate voted in his place
it certainly wasn’t good optics in
bringing the party together.”
The confusion stemmed from
the RNC’s Rule 40, which says a
candidate needs to win at least eight
states — up from ive in 2012 — to
be nominated at the convention.
That meant Kasich, who clinched
only his home state of Ohio, was
out of the running. Because Oregon
— say they had no clue until after
the fact.
“I was livid when I found out,”
Reynolds, former Multnomah
County Republican Party chair, told
The Associated Press. “Had I been
there, I would’ve insisted those
votes go to Kasich even though
I’m a Cruz supporter ... It may have
been allowable by the rules but
Report details affair that led to U.S. attorney’s downfall
PORTLAND (AP) — The
federal prosecutor whose
accusation of sexual harass-
ment led U.S. Attorney for
Oregon Amanda Marshall
to resign told investigators
he reported her behavior
because it was interfering
with his ability to eat, sleep
and work, and he worried
about losing his job.
The
prosecutor
and
Marshall started their extra-
marital affair in the summer
of 2013, and it lasted a year.
When it ended, Marshall
drove by his home multiple
times, berated him at a
concert and sent unwanted
text messages and emails,
according to a report from
the Ofice of the Inspector
General.
“I can’t deal with this
anymore,” the prosecutor
wrote Marshall in September
2014. “Please stop.”
New details of the affair
and its aftermath are included
in the report obtained
Thursday in a Freedom of
Information Act request.
The ofice released a
summary of the investigation
last month that didn’t mention
Marshall by name, but said a
U.S. attorney violated sexual
harassment laws and lied
about the relationship when
confronted.
Marshall, who resigned in
May 2015 amid rumors she
had stalked a subordinate,
acknowledged the report
was about her. She said in a
statement to The Oregonian/
OregonLive last month that
she failed the government,
Oregonians and her family
and would “spend the rest
of my life trying to make
amends.”
The more complete report
released Thursday redacts
the name of the assistant
U.S. attorney with whom
Marshall had the affair.
Marshall and the prose-
cutor said their relationship
was professional until they
had drinks at a work-related
celebration in August 2013
and then went to a Portland
nightclub.
The prosecutor told inves-
tigators Marshall became
angry after hearing he didn’t
see them becoming a couple
and
eventually
getting
married.
“Marshall acknowledged
to the OIG her misplaced
belief that she and (the
assistant U.S. attorney) had
a future together,” the report
states.
Marshall acknowledged
the affair made things difi-
cult at work. The man sought
a promotion and obtained
it October 2013. Marshall
said she participated in the
interview, but abstained from
making the selection.
“Marshall said she felt her
relationship with (the man)
put her in a dificult position
because (he) would sue her
if she did not promote him
and other applicants might
sue her if she did,” the report
states.
The subordinate, mean-
while, described the affair
(both were married) as
awkward and its aftermath as
worse. He told investigators
that Marshall threatened to
disclose their affair, made
inappropriate comments to
him during management
meetings, and sent harassing
messages via text, email and
Facebook.

harassing notes when the
affair was over.
Investigators
found
the subordinate sent three
messages asking Marshall
to stop, but Marshall insisted
she was never told to leave
him alone.
The report said Marshall
lied about the nature of
the
relationship
when
confronted, violated instruc-
tions not to have contact with
the assistant U.S. attorney
and tried to impede the
investigation.
Moreover, he told investi-
gators that Marshall berated
him and a date at an August
2014 concert and sent inap-
propriate text messages after
he ignored her at conference
in San Francisco.
Marshall told investiga-
tors the two had sex in San
Francisco, and she drank
heavily after she was ignored
at the conference. She said
she misplaced her room key,
stayed out all night and later
noticed she had texted and
emailed him several times.
