Oregon’s vote by mail system delivers high turnout with vanishingly little fraud. Every elected official and 2026 state candidate should answer plainly: Do you support Initiative 37 and ending vote by mail, or will you defend the system Oregonians have trusted for decades?
Push to ban Oregon mail-in voting gains ‘momentum,’ GOP backer says. Opponents have their doubts
Oregonians vote at a higher rate than most Americans, which observers attribute to mail-in voting.

Oregon’s vote by mail system is secure, accessible, and proven. Trump’s attacks rely on false fraud claims while postal delays threaten valid ballots. Protect drop boxes, timely postmarks, and every voter’s right to have a lawful ballot counted.
Trump's attacks on mail balloting and concerns over delays turn midterms spotlight on Postal Service
Roughly six weeks before the first midterm ballots are mailed out, the U.S. Postal Service is emerging as a pivotal player in an election season that will determine control of Congress.

Thank you once again democrats for standing up and fighting for all of Oregon!
Every door you knocked, every call you made, every check you wrote built this. A new independent poll has us leading 50-41, with strong support from Independents. Those numbers aren't a finish line. They tell us your work is making a difference. We intend to earn every vote. Thank you.

Southern Oregon pro democracy organizers: Join the Coalition Summit on Saturday, July 18, from 10 AM to Noon at Madrone Picnic Area in Lithia Park. Help strengthen local networks, build solidarity, and coordinate action. Bring a folding chair. All are welcome. SPREAD THE WORD!
SOU's faculty, staff, and students did not fail. Oregon created a system that shifted costs onto families, underfunded regional universities, and then relied on emergency bailouts when the math stopped working. More than 218 positions have now been lost or proposed for elimination. We can do better.
You ran a tough campaign, and you and your volunteers should be incredibly proud of what you accomplished together.
