Not really,

It was wrong when the Dems did this crap in WI and elsewhere, and its wrong from the GOP to be doing this in OR.

They take the paycheck to do the job, and doing any job means sometimes you have to do things you don’t agree with.

You are there to vote, show up and vote.. you lose you lose... but you don’t pull this crap.

For the record, yes this law is stupid, and will harm Oregon, but the GOP refusing to show up is just political theater... just like these things always are.

We can debate the merits of the tactic, but the use of the State’s arrest power to coerce participation is certainly “thuggery”.

I love how people hated the klansmen(Rats) did this in WI back then, but are cheering the Rs in Oregon doing the same thing. I am in 100% agreement with you on this. Those Rs need to go back.

Kate Brown once led such a walkout.

Yeah, just like it’s wrong to have 200+ registered to vote at one address in Portland...and to have illegals vote, and on and on. RULES say if there’s Not a quorum...no vote...how ‘bout them rules, eh?
If you don’t live in Oregon you likely know little of our politics...and if you’ve never run or been elected to office you really should keep your mouth closed.
