As a "recovering Democrat" the one statewide vote I felt good about was Tobias Read for Secretary of State.

When I was an elected official (for a quarter century 1994-2019) I found myself often defending Oregon as a state where political corruption was non-existent. I argued that incompetence was common but not corruption. I was wrong, as has been shown by the shenanigans of the Secretary of State, Governor, and Attorney General.

I am not yet a Republican, but I am now, like most Oregonians a true independent (not the lame party of that name that scams people into joining).

"Woon said at the time, when the state was just learning the extent of its registration of non-citizens, that the registration of non-citizens to vote would not affect the 2024 election. Woon did not offer a basis for her prediction."

This was 1) wishcasting and 2) counting on local media to flush it down the rabbit hole, never to be mentioned again.
