  1. @futurebird Oregon has had a vote by mail system since 2000 so voting is easy for most. Ballots are mailed to all registered voters automatically. A voters' pamphlet with candidates & ballot measures is sent before ballots.

    Completed ballots are returned at drop boxes (encouraged this year) or by mail. You can track your ballot to confirm it was received.

    It's *possible* to vote in person if you need to or want to but hardly anyone does.

  2. USPS rule on mail ballots is still blocked, but good to hear the postal workers union hates it, too!

    "‘Catastrophic’: Postal workers slam Trump’s mail voting restrictions, urge Supreme Court to uphold block"

    democracydocket.com/news-alert

    "… first time in the Postal Service’s 250-year history that it 'has created a rule to reject mail—ballots at that—because the mail does not meet mail design requirements.' "

  3. More quotes:

    "To help ensure Oregon voters have ready access to an official ballot drop box, Read is requesting nearly $500,000 in emergency funding from the Legislature this week. His office is proposing purchasing 20 new drop boxes for poorly-served areas ..."

    "... voters should start deciding how they want to vote when their state-provided voter’s pamphlet arrives, so they can promptly fill out their ballot when it is mailed."

  4. TL;DR
    - Executive order still blocked
    - Oregon ballots will be mailed soon
    - Take completed ballots to drop boxes if possible

    "Oregon Democrats seek to calm voters’ election uncertainties"

    "Secretary of State Tobias Read and others reiterated Tuesday that Oregon’s vote by mail system is likely to proceed as normal …"

  5. Arizona's early ballot request deadline is October 23, and early voting runs October 17 to 30. More than three quarters of Arizonans vote by mail.

    Check registration and Active Early Voter List status, and sign up for ballot status alerts at Trackmyballot.azsos.gov so there is time to fix a problem. A meme going round says to put a stamp on a mail ballot. That is wrong. Ballots are already first class mail.

  6. #PDX #Oregon #voting #VoteByMail We should probably know this before we pick our next governor. GOP candidate Christine Drazan says she supports vote-by-mail. Cool. There’s just one tiny, inconvenient piece of context: in 2025, She was the chief sponsor of HB 3872 intended to change Oregon’s default voting system from vote-by-mail to in-person voting on Election Day, requiring voters to show ID at polling locations to get & cast a ballot. Thankfully, the bill died in the House Rules Committee.

  16. 25 years of all-mail elections in Oregon. Zero fraud scandals.

    Even the Heritage Foundation's own fraud database logs under 300 absentee cases nationwide in 40+ years.

    Part 2 of our deep dive looks at the actual data on mail voting safety — plus a full voter checklist for November.

  17. > A captured EAC could conceivably start to do the dirty work right away, under the direction of loyalists the White House plans to parachute into the commission. What’s more, they could rewrite state-specific instructions on the voter forms to create registration traps and onerous requirements, confusing instructions, translation issues, and on and on. ...

    Trump may think he found a Trojan horse. What he actually found is a trap of his own making. Every action he tries to take to abuse the EAC will be met with resistance and tie him up in litigation as the clock ticks to November. The president’s corruption may be brazen, but it’s also sloppy and short-sighted. And we’re going to keep fighting it in the courts, in the states, and in the open, where schemes like this one go to die.

  18. CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

    The feds are quietly building a blueprint to weaponize the postal system against mail-in ballots right before the midterms, and the courts just declined to stop it. Let's break down the administrative map they're leaving active. 🧵 (1/7)
