Nago explains the Ballot shortage

[csgray]

Oregon sends out a voters guide with all the candidates statements, actual language of the initiatives (which become law if passed) and then pro or con groups buy pages to advocate for their positions. The year that made me switch they had to split the voters guide into two booklets because one would have been too heavy to mail.

I always loved the process of going in and voting in person, but exercising your right to vote at your kitchen table has a lot going for it too, you can take your time without the feeling the pressure of all the people waiting in line. Voting rates went way up after the switch, especially in rural areas and places prone to lousy weather in March and November.
