Hi,

I live in Oregon too. I am so happy to have moved to a state that is blue! Moved here two years ago from Florida and can't believe we don't have to leave our house to vote! With all the fraud that's been going on in elections in Florida for the last 12 years, my head would be exploding right now if I had to vote there.

Oregon has the most SANE way of letting their people vote. We got our ballots in the mail and now we can go through each issue thoughtfully and do the necessary research to vote intelligently! In fact we don't even know of a voting place ANYWHERE. Apparently Oregon only lets you vote by mail or maybe it's just my county? You gotta LOVE this state.

Wish all the states did what Oregon does. This state amazes me more every day. Not sure if Multnomah county is blue but I'm guessing it is because Portland is included.

Glad I live here. I will never leave, like ever.

Aristus

I hope you enjoy it here. I've been here since 2001, and this site has been a second home to me; a refuge from the madness and craziness of the American political scene. DU helped me keep my sanity during the awful B*sh years.

Happy Halloween!
