Oregon Bill to Legalize Fusion

Thanks to Ballot Access News for this:

Ten Oregon legislators are sponsoring HB 2580, which would legalize fusion and even provide that a voter could vote for the fusion candidate under either party label. The sponsors are these Republicans: Senator Brian Boquist and Representative Vicki Berger; and these Democrats: Senator Diane Rosenbaum and Representatives Peter Buckley, Chip Shields, Jeff Barker, Ben Cannon, Michael Dembrow, Chris Garrett, and Arnie Roblan.

Now that 40% of voters are independents, there is hope that legislatures realize they need to find ways to get all involved in the political process.
