Boycotters

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The longest-ever walkout in the Oregon Legislature reached its fourth week on Wednesday as the enforceability of a ballot measure that would disqualify the boycotters from immediate reelection appeared in doubt.

That's because it’s unclear how the boycotters would be disqualified from running again.

The boycotters also say they won’t return unless “extreme” bills, like the ones on abortion, gender-affirming care and gun safety, are scrapped.

But many of the last election's boycotters remain unconvinced about elections ushering in change.

Tensions flared during the time the meetings were held, and on 17 February a crowd demonstrated in front of the magistrate’s court during the trial of a chief charged with imposing fines on non-boycotters.

The head the election commission vowed to enforce a law penalizing boycotters with a fine of around $32, according to the state-run MENA news agency.

In your face you fake boycotters!

Israel called it a “wretched capitulation” to boycotters.
