THE PROBLEM is that people in most states are up against “Mail-in Voting”. I can’t speak for other states but I firmly believe that the voting in Oregon has been illegal when it comes to state voting. We have only had Demoncrat Governors since mail-in-voting and they have destroyed Oregon…that and the Californians who couldn’t stand their taxes, so they have come here and brought the same mentality they left. Oregon is not alone in these issues.
