First, let’s understand, she’s advocating for the elimination or curtailment of mail-in voting, approved by Oregon voters via Ballot Measure 60 in 1998.
Second, she’s advocating for policies being pushed by Trump/Project 2025 goons. The DOJ has sought voter roles from 40 states and sued a dozen red and blue states to try to get these roles. Here’s a short explanation of what’s happening from statedemocracy.law.wisc.edu/ :
“Since returning to office in January 2025, President Trump has pursued efforts to expand federal control over the country’s historically state-run election infrastructure. In March 2025, he issued a sweeping executive order that, among other provisions, sought to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections—a requirement that has since been blocked by a federal court.
“Over the summer, reports indicated that the Justice Department was exploring ways to prosecute local election officials who the administration believes have not sufficiently followed certain security standards. President Trump also declared on social media that he would seek to eliminate mail voting and vote machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, inaccurately portraying states as “merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government” in the administration of federal elections.”
Third, Dixie writes often about the role Judicial Watch, the half billion dollar think tank filing lawsuits in this effort, and it’s chair, muscleman Tom Fitton. Wikipedia has an extensive article on this organization and it’s checkered past.
Trump just appointed Fitton to chair the DC Judicial Nominating Commission which vets, selects and recommends DC appeals and superior court judge candidates to the president. Yikes.
