Oregon Voting Rights

The issue of voting rights in Oregon reflects a trend of right-wing activism to manipulate the political system through actions such as providing security for legislators engaging in controversial practices. This is part of a broader assault on voting rights seen in other states like Georgia and Florida, where tactics such as throwing people off voter rolls and imposing barriers to voting are utilized to shape the electorate. The recent example in Florida involving a poll tax imposed by the governor highlights the efforts to restrict voting rights, particularly targeting disenfranchised communities like black people and people of color. This manipulation of voting rights is also evident in actions taken by government officials to slow down initiatives granting voting rights to former felons, ultimately aiming to influence the outcome of elections in favor of certain political agendas, thus undermining the democratic process.
