Democracy Defenders Ban Most Oregon Republican State Senators From Running For Reelection

I’ve been surprised this story has gotten so little traction.

Did you hear the news that Oregon has quietly become a one party state?

Newsweek:

“Some of the Oregon Republican state senators hit by the state Supreme Court‘s decision to ban them from running for reelection raged against the decision, slamming the court as “Democrat-stacked.”

The Oregon Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Thursday that 10 Republican state senators cannot run for reelection after refusing to attend Senate sessions for about six weeks last year to stall Democratic-backed legislation. …”

9 out of 12 Republican state senators from Oregon have been disqualified from running for reelection because of a constitutional amendment that was passed in the 2022 midterms.

New York Times:

“The majority of Oregon’s Republican state senators are prohibited from running for re-election as a result of their repeated boycotts of legislative sessions last year, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled on Thursday. …

In a state that once prided itself on bipartisan collaboration, voters altered the State Constitution in 2022 to ban such absenteeism. Under the new rules, lawmakers who have 10 unexcused absences during a legislative session are barred from re-election. …

The lawmakers involved in the boycotts included nine of the Senate’s 12 Republicans and an independent who was a former Republican. …

Six of the lawmakers will be left off this year’s ballot, although two of them have already signaled their plans to retire. Four others will be barred from the ballot when they would have been up for re-election in 2026.

The secretary of state, LaVonne Griffin-Valade, a Democrat, applauded the Oregon Supreme Court’s decision. …”

Once again, it is all a big joke.

We are told Ukraine is a democracy when Zelensky has banned his opposition.

In Maine and Colorado, the Democratic Secretary of State has removed Trump from the ballot.

The DNC has repeatedly rigged the Democratic primary for years and most recently in this cycle by cancelling the New Hampshire Democratic primary and changing the primary schedule by moving up South Carolina to benefit Joe Biden because Iowa and New Hampshire are too White.

Joe Biden’s Justice Department has indicted Trump with multiple felonies over his storage of classified documents. Biden isn’t facing charges over keeping similar documents in his garage.

Note: Remember, Joe Biden is like George Washington at Valley Forge in this winter of discontent with Our Democracy. They seriously expect people to believe this bullshit.
