GOP lawmakers barred from re-election in Oregon after 6-week walkout, state secretary says

[Dragonlady]

Oregon is screwed. If you are a repub you should evacuate and let the State implode under one party rule.

Let the normal people see what happens when idiots run a state into the ground.

We've already seen it in Mississippi and Louisiana, and most of the the Southern States.

No, those are the blue cities inside them that are imploding. Dumbass.

About time that political shenanigans come with a real world price tag. Perhaps this will deter stunts like they pulled from being contemplated in the future:

GOP lawmakers barred from re-election in Oregon after 6-week walkout, state secretary says

Oregon Republican leaders who orchestrated a six-week walkout from legislative sessions to stall Democrat-led bills will not be allowed to run for re-election when their term ends in 2024, Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade said Tuesday.
Griffin-Valade, a Democrat, vowed to uphold a 2022 law passed by Oregon voters known as Measure 113, which says lawmakers with more than 10 unexcused absences from the legislative session will not be eligible for re-election.
"It is clear voters intended Measure 113 to disqualify legislators from running for re-election if they had 10 or more unexcused absences in a legislative session," Griffin-Valade said in a news release. "My decision honors the voters’ intent by enforcing the measure the way it was commonly understood when Oregonians added it to our state constitution."
According to the measure, if a House or Senate leader fails to attend legislative sessions, they will be disqualified from running for re-election "for the term following the election after the member’s current term is completed."
Knopp said in a statement that GOP leaders "disagree with the Secretary of State’s determination and will challenge it in court."
