"Inactive" voters' ballots and official notices are returned undelivered but they don't get ballots? Ummmm, that's kind pf clearly contradictory. And those 800K, ASSuming they really are officially inactive, with their addresses, are still on OR's rolls where they could be reactivated by anybody spoofing their identity.

As Oregon kicks off a general election year, Secretary of State Tobias Read is taking what he says is the overdue step of cleaning up the state’s voter rolls.
That process could lead to the cancellation of as many as 800,000 registrations. That’s the number of voters Read says are currently classified as “inactive” on the voter rolls. To be clear, inactive voters do not receive ballots, but their names remain on the rolls.
The cleanup comes as Oregon’s first-in-the-nation vote-by-mail system is under intense scrutiny. President Donald Trump, who blamed mail-in ballots, among other bogeymen, for his defeat in 2020, has amplified historical criticism of Oregon’s system.
...
Oregon currently has 3,063,747 registered, active voters. About 800,000 more voters’ registration status is inactive because their mail, including ballots or official notices, from county elections offices has been returned undelivered.
Active voters get ballots; inactive voters, Read emphasizes, do not.
