Oregon Legislature Restricts Initiative Process

The bill will allow state election officials to prohibit someone from registering as a paid signature gatherer if they’ve been convicted of fraud or forgery.
The Tacoma News Tribune’s Olympia reporter, Joe Turner, posted the following in response: “Eyman’s Legions Be Forewarned.” (For source material, he also posted the Oregon Secretary of State’s press release.)
