Let’s protect voting rights and end closed partisan primaries. 42% of Oregon voters face voting restrictions. Voting rights are civil rights.

“It won’t destroy the Republican Party, but it will open up the GOP primary and allow reasonable, traditional Republicans to take back control of their party.”

Fantastic op-ed from our Communications Director, and Veteran, Derek Clevenger. Closed primaries disproportionally impact veterans! https://t.co/8rrHlxYu3e

When so many political groups and organizations agree that open primaries are the way to go, it should make you stop and think. Let’s bring Oregon out of the dark ages, together!

@AustinHellerGA Respectfully disagree. She’s a wonderful candidate, but we would argue it is more rooted in the two party apparatus ensuring that their desired candidates are the only ones with a legitimate chance. Similar to how Bernie was widely discredited despite his popularity.

First, Trump was going to save America. But then he said some things some people on his team dislike. So now DeSantis is gonna save America. Truth is, neither of them will. Neither will Biden, or anyone on the left. American is saved by election reform and voting!

[Bill Post 🇺🇸 @TheBillPost]

Is there 1 Trump supporter that can actually articulate WHY I should vote for him after this past week? He's now said that abortion is "meh" and that "men can be women...ummmm" and affirmed that he still thinks the jab was great. #MAGA help us out. #DeSantis2024 to save America.

It’s time we get voting out of the dark ages. People deserve a choice. Oregon is one of a small minority of states that has yet to open the primary.

[Andrew Kalloch @AndrewKalloch]

Why is there a growing movement to open primaries? It's simple really: Americans want equal voting rights and the right to elect their representatives.

Oregon can't be a true leader in democratic reform until we stop disenfranchising 1.1 million voters. https://t.co/nojFPiVPaQ

@reaganknopp Sort of like R’s forgetting that he is pro-gun control 🤷‍♂️

How are there people actually defending @laurenboebert? Like… for real? How? Just… how? Sure, people make mistakes, but when your entire shtick is conservative Christian values, and a video like that comes out… you have lost ALL credibility.

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

@EdKrassen Two things can be true at the same time. They both are 🤷‍♂️

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

Ensuring that only those who already support their chosen candidates is one of the surest ways they can accomplish this

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

The biggest advantage of an open or unified primary is that it requires our elected officials to be accountable for their actions, both personally and politically. Under the current system, there is zero accountability as the party can limit legitimate challenges to their seats.

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

People can say what they want, but the false claims by both President Biden and Former President Trump are remarkably similar in their attempt to inflate both of their egos. From teaching at U of P to having the largest inauguration crowd ever, both seem to have pretend lives.

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

@NewToneProducer Of course not. But they might if Trump wins. Multiple states are considering RCV. It’s generally the party in power that dislikes it, and the minority party that supports it. There are some exceptions, but they are rare.

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

People deserve better, on both sides. Unfortunately our system encourages the worst of the fringe to run, and helps to ensure they win. It’s time for Oregon to open the primary!

[All Oregon Votes @AllOregonVotes]

Nearly $4.1mil in tax payer funds were used to pay for our closed primaries in 2022. Over 40% of all voters in Oregon are unaffiliated or registered with a 3rd party. What that means is the money spent is being used to directly support the Democratic and Republican parties.

[Open Primaries @OpenPrimaryUSA]

“It is a fundamental view of @Alaskans4BE that primaries should be open to all voters, & that the states — to the extent that it is responsible for elections —should only be in a position to fund elections that are accessible to all”

@stclairashley When I eat enough for a family of 4 at Taco Bell at 2am on a Friday night, it is magically never more than about $20 🤷‍♂️
