Wasn’t even close. 60/40.

      I don’t know anything about the campaign in Oregon, but most people are scared of things they aren’t familiar with.

      Also I’m guessing neither party really supported this much, since they benefit from first-past-the-post.

        Wonder what the campaign against it was. This seems like a easy win. It’s not even a religious thing like pro-choice.

          Probably just a bunch of bullshit falsehoods, look at the campaign against issue 1 in Ohio. It was a change to the state constitution to put a citizen run commission in place to draw maps for voting districts and Republicans ran a campaign that was just straight up lying about what the issue was about. Then even threw misleading ballot language on the ballot, I doubt anyone read the ballot language though because it was a small novel.

            Issue 1 took up the entire back page of my ballot yesterday and was just nonsensical legalese. People voted on it based on how there prefered candidates told them to, and we all saw who their preferred candidates were last night.

          Politics (especially among republicans) has become a bit religious, so it’s not really THAT different I guess
