here is just a little of it:
the republican have gerry-manderd the shit out of districts such that in 2018 there were 200,000 more votes for Democratic candidates than GOP candidates for the State Assembly. But the GOP held a 63-36 advantage in the chamber...
after the election
it was that same Assembly that insisted on holding the election yesterday. They know that fair elections are bad news for them, and a 4-2 right wing majority on the state SC prevented the Governor from postponing the primary till June...like every other state with an April primary has done, both 'red' and 'blue' states
the result was that a vast majority of poll workers refused to show up and risk their lives as well as the lives of their families for an abortion of an election that should not have happened. The result of that was that Milwaukee, which normally has 180 voting locations, only had 5
all of that could be solved by Vote-by-Mail; or at the very least, universal no-excuse Absentee voting. I don't think you'll find very may people in Oregon who want to go back to the old system of voting
I agree which is why I think the 20 year crusade of the republican party to disenfranchise democratic and minority voters is so despicable
