2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumShouldn't we already be hearing of voter suppression/disenfranchisement in Oregon?
Given Oregon's vote by mail system, shouldn't everybody who can vote in tomorrow's election already have their ballot today? Wouldn't people be screaming by now if they were unable to vote in Oregon? Have there been reports of suppression or problems? Or have there simply been no reports of problems? Or does Hillary need to win (which I don't expect) before allegations of voting problems surface?

(546 posts)Washington and Colorado conduct all elections by mail.
A ballot is automatically mailed to every registered voter in advance of Election Day, and traditional in-person voting precincts are not available. However these states still provide one or more locations for voters to return mail ballots, vote in-person if they would like, and receive other voter services.

(507 posts)our Democratic caucuses are scheduled events that people attend. Starts at the precinct level and then it progresses. The state isn't involved in the caucus process.

(2,495 posts)#1 Hillary has more votes than sanders
#2 Hillary has more committed delegates than sanders
#3 Hillary has more superdelegates than sanders
what do sanders supporters not understand? All they can do is lie about and undermine Hillary. Who needs republicans.

(39,215 posts)and that meant finding out if the person you wanted to call was still living at the same address and had the same phone number.
When mailing out the ballots to voters how are they sure it is getting to the right person? I spent many hours working on these lists. Who does that in Oregon?
