Date: 16/12/2012

Election fairness advocates Lloyd Marbet and Dan Meek discuss the effects of the November election on election processes in Oregon, with a look at the growing role of money in the political system and the initiative process. Why are Oregon elections the second most expensive in the nation? They review how the limits in Oregon Measure 47 would effect Oregon elections if they were enforced and talk about how Democrats have undermined the initiative process, most recently with rule changes written by the Oregon Secretary of State.
