Oregon Democrats back down from ballot law change (http://www.ktvz.com/global/story.asp?s=10602390)

SALEM (AP) - Democratic state lawmakers have abandoned a plan to change what a "yes" or "no" vote means when actions of the Legislature are referred to voters for approval.

The move came Friday after the referendum proposal was panned by Republicans, anti-tax groups and some newspaper editorials.

Democrats tacked an election law change onto an unrelated bill Wednesday night, making a "yes" vote in favor of rejecting a referendum, and a "no" vote against rejecting it.

Wow...  That took some serious cajones to try to pull off.

So, Oregon's Dems are, in a nutshell, trying to set up a verbal trap that I've seen done in Bugs Bunny cartoons. Wow, Democrats sure are the party of nuance...

Sounds like the same bunch that writes the costitutional amendments for the S.C. government.....a yes is a no and a no is a yes.....better read read it carefully .........several times.
