"New bill proposes repealing vote-by-mail in Oregon, public invited to testify"

koin.com/news/politics/new-bil

It looks like this bill would make in-person voting default and folks would need to request mail ballots. Our current system sends out all ballots by mail automatically.

There's a 48 hour window to submit a public comment:

I don't know how much support this bill has but I wrote comment opposing it just in case.

"Three weeks after U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death and just over a month before the state’s next uniform election, Gov. Greg Abbott has not yet called a special election to fill the seat representing parts of Houston, a Democratic stronghold, in Congress."

About 773,000 Houstonians will have no representation in Congress for about a year 🤬

The Texas Tribune · Gov. Greg Abbott showing no rush to replace late U.S. Rep. Sylvester TurnerRepublicans hold a tiny majority in the House, creating an incentive for Abbott to hold off on calling an election for Turner’s seat, which would likely be filled by a Democrat.

Just a reminder that it is NOT a joke that Wisconsin has a vote on April 1st.

It's going to determine voting rights at a state constitutional level and the composition of our courts for the next decade.

We cannot afford to sit this one out, even though it's not the "exciting" presidential election.
