single instance, but on a scale of 1-100" I'll give it a 98
I hated the idea of it in the beginning...because I loved going to the polls and seeing folks from my area-discussing the issues of the times, etc..but - I Also Hated going out at night-after work, cold, rainy, very windy, usually - at least where I lived at that time. After the first year? I loved it and will Never go back.
My sig has Definitely changed and about every 5 years or so, I just drop by my co clerks office and do my own random check. They're always happy to help and pull my info. That way, for me-I can rest assured my vote will never be in question.

Yep-Oregonians are a wonderful and unique mix of folks who'll fight and argue like hell amongst ourselves but when "outsiders" come in..Look Out-we band together and kick some ass
More so in the "old days" than now..but this past year I saw a little of that re-emerge and I smiled.
I also believe that we are a bit above average in being informed about the issues.
I love Oregon. I've been here my entire life with zero regrets as were my parents, grandparents and even my great-grandparents.
Btw-after 4+ decades: Welcome to Oregon
