This was the Oregon of State's actual response: cross your fingers SCOTUS rules in our favor. We need a backup plan, not a hope and a dream. Reach out to the secretary, governor and our US and local representatives. We only have a short runway. If we're lucky we won't need to puvot but if we're not
Actual text from email:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the Elections Division. The Division is monitoring federal administrative rules impacting election administration. The USPS rules are currently not in effect due to ongoing litigation and a pending U.S. Supreme Court appeal. The rules cannot be implemented unless the courts lift those blocks. 

We appreciate your engagement and interest in this matter.

Sincerely,

Oregon Elections Division 

Oregon Secretary of State

This is exactly what's happening, and why this whole thing seems unfair. It is. Let's fix that. Tax wealth not work. From Ben Wiklers book, This is the plan

👋 Think your vote doesn't matter? Imagine being a democrat in NC and having stayed home in 2020. From Ben Wiklers book, This Is The Plan
Passage describing how just 401 votes made the difference in NC, electing more republicans to the NC Supreme Court, who greatly gerrymandered the maps, causing the US congress to go Republican instead of democrat, thus ushering in the Big Beautiful Bill, the destruction of USAID, etc. Just 401 votes made that difference. Make sure you vote this year, for all races!

Want to understand what impact a law like the SAVE Act would have? In his book, This Is The Plan, Ben Wikler shows what happened in Wisconsin from a similar act
An analysis by the center for American progress found that while white turnout in Wisconsin dropped 2 points from 2012 to 2016, black turnout fell by 19 percentage points. Nationally black turnout fell as well, but only by 4.5 percent.

Research ALL local election positions and proposed bills, even the boring or "non-partisan" ones. LET NO MAGA PASS. Below is why, from This Is The plan by Ben Wikler
Seizing voting machines, during down polling places, compromising databases of voter-records...will go much more smoothly if local leaders play ball.

This is true. While there are fringes in many aspects, there's really not much difference between red and blue, the billionaires just want us to believe there is so we fight each other instead of fighting them.

If you look at liberal talking points and conservative talking points, most fall in the same categories: Family, Safety, Environment, Taxes, Education, Health, etc. The question is how we solve for these problems--and we actually agree on solutions more than we think. It's the media saying we don't.
A Venn diagram with a blue circle labeled "Liberal" on the left and a red circle labeled "Conservative" on the right. They overlap in a large purple center. Top text reads: "Most of us aren’t living on the edges of the chart." The purple center lists shared values: Effective, non-wasteful government; Secure borders + humane pathways; Safe communities & police accountability; Reliable, affordable energy; and High-quality education with options. Bottom text reads: "Turns out, we’re mostly just humans who want things to work."

The SAVE Act is a show your papers crackdown pretending to be “integrity.” It is engineered to slam people who cannot magically produce passports or birth certificates, especially Black, women, and low income voters. Call your senators & keep SAVE dead for good. Sources #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

The only reason SAVE looks stalled is because Democrats are holding and a handful of Republicans do not want to blow up the filibuster over a Trump pet project. Those senators are under pressure. Call and tell them to stand firm and keep voting no! #SaveActIsPayToVote
