On May 17, the Oregon House of Representatives passed HB 2614, which makes it illegal for a registered party member to sign an independent candidate petition. The vote was 45-11. The bill now goes to the Senate Rules Committee. The “no” votes were cast by 6 Democrats (Buckley, Galizio, March, Roblan) and 5 Republicans (Boquist, Bruun, Kropf, Nelson and Olson).
