Oregon Primary Mail Worries: With May 19 looming, Secretary of State Tobias Read is warning that USPS delays could mess up ballot postmarks—especially in eastern, central, and southern Oregon where ballots route through Portland. Election Administration Glitch: Marion County is mailing supplemental ballots after some voters in south Salem and a Turner tiny-house development were sent ballots missing key races/measures. PacifiCorp Wildfire Fight: Oregon property owners are urging the state Supreme Court to reverse a decision that wiped out their wildfire damages verdict against PacifiCorp, arguing the ruling leaves no workable path for class trials. Reproductive Care Shield: Gov. Tina Kotek signed new laws to backfill federal cuts and strengthen Oregon’s “shield” protections for reproductive and gender-affirming care. Health Update: Oregon overdose deaths fell in 2024 for the first time since 2016, with early 2025 numbers also trending down.
