The Oregon State Senate Elections & Ethics Committee heard testimony today on legalizing fusion (the practice of letting two political parties jointly nominate the same candidate). There is no specific bill in front of that committee, but there will be soon. Most legislators present seemed in favor of the idea. Both the Working Families Party of Oregon, and the Independent Party of Oregon, testified in favor.
