A public hearing on a proposed bill to repeal Oregon’s standard vote-by-mail system is set to take place in Salem on Monday.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/41134135

To nobody’s surprise, introduced by a Republican.

    I love mail in voting. I can take a Saturday that I have free, sit down for a couple of hours, review everything and everyone, ensure I fill out the forms fully and correctly and then drop it in the voting box. Forcing me to take a day off of work and go stand in a miserable line with the pressure of people behind me would be the worst. We have a system that works great as long as the right wing maniacs are not starting our drop boxes on fire. I love love love our civilized way of voting here.

    Anything that makes democratic participation in government harder should be angrily opposed at a minimum.

Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I’m hoping to change that!

Unlike “other” Portland communities you may have seen “elsewhere”, I believe in a “warts and all” approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that’s all welcome as well. Let’s collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there’s only one real way to get in trouble here:

  1. Don’t attack other users.

It’s OK to go after Teargas Ted, it’s OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It’s NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they’re wrong, just don’t start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.
