In Oregon, you can vote a ballot for your home address, even if your home burned and you're staying elsewhere


In Oregon, voters can vote a ballot customized for their home address, even if their home burned and they’re temporarily staying elsewhere.

Oregon’s vote-by-mail system allows voters to receive ballots at a mailing address different from their permanent address when they are displaced, said Laura Fosmire, spokesperson for the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office.

Voters can find more information about the process at oregonvotes.gov. They can also register to vote on the website or by paper voter registration card returned to their county elections office.

“We are encouraging people with concerns to contact their county clerk to discuss their available options that best suit their specific circumstances,” Fosmire said.

This is a great way to handle voting, I think the entire country should adapt it. But GOPers certainly don't like it because it encourages ALL people to vote. GOPers only win if voting is limited to 'certain' people.
