Brace for it - come October, the Facist-in-Chief will deploy federal agents to polling places in swing districts. When counter demonstraters respond, he will federalize National Guard troops and seize or close polling places. It's all about voter suppression. He is desperate. Stand up, speak out!

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Tonight, we secured a court order protecting Oregonians’ voting rights. A federal court blocked the key provisions of the U.S. Postal Service’s rule restricting delivery of mail-in ballots, siding with Oregon and our coalition. #orpol
“This is a win for every Oregon voter,” said Attorney General Dan Rayfield. “Oregonians have trusted vote-by-mail for more than 25 years because it works. It’s secure, it’s convenient, and it lets every eligible voter make their voice heard – and today the court agreed that Donald Trump can’t upend that system just a few months before ballots go out.“The Postal Service does not get to decide who receives a ballot in Oregon. That authority belongs to the states, and this order confirms it. While this fight isn’t over, this ruling means Oregon voters can count on the system they know as we head into the fall election.”
