14% of Oregon Voters Help Make The Case for Education Reform
Oregon Measure 46 amends the state Constitution to allow for campaign finance limitations to be enacted through initiative or legislative action. Measure 47, meanwhile, creates a law that places limits on campaign fundraising.
So in order for Measure 47 to be enacted, Measure 46 must also pass.
This simple logic has apparently been lost on about 14% of Oregon voters, if early returns are any indication. 40.4% of people voted for Measure 46 while 54.3% voted for Measure 47. In other words, 14% of people voted for something that they voted against being able to enact on the same ballot.
