On this one, Oregon is "ahead" of Californicate...with it's "motor voter" law. Voter registration forms are given out with a driver's license application. No citizenship proof required for a driver's license. Balloting here is by mail. Ballots sent to all "registered" voters, fill out the ballot, mail it back in. On the back of the envelope for returning your ballot, your politcal party is listed. Is it any shock to me that ALGORE won in Oregon, sweeping Multnomah County (Portland) by a 4 to 1 margin on "late returns"? Me? After that fiasco, I wrote my county clerk, asked to be removed from the registered voters list. May as well play 3 card Monte on the sidewalk in NYC as vote in Orygun. I refuse to play in a rigged game. On the plus side, Oregon takes it's Jury summons list from all who have a driver's license. BUT, only registered voters can serve on criminal trial juries. I haven't had a jury summons since I insisted on being removed from the voters list...which, BTW, is harder to accomplish than getting on it.
