Oregon | You've Got To Know When To Hold 'Em

Conservative radio talk show hosts in Oregon are being blamed for derailing the Republican get-out-the-vote effort. Top party officials have been encouraging voters to vote early. This allows the canvassers to focus on people who are likely to support Republican candidates who have not yet turned in their ballots.

Conservative talk radio hosts, however, have urged listeners to hold onto their ballots until the last possible moment, out of fear of tampering. This, however, raises the possibility that some of the voters will have a crisis of some sort and their ballot will not get turned in at all.

What’s an Oregon voter to do? This voter’s advice is simple: Today, tomorrow, last week or tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m.: as long as you get it turned in before the deadline, it shouldn’t matter when you turn it in. Just make sure you do so.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
