Oregon?s early voting seen as model

Republicans in the House and Senate continue to try to place restrictions on a constitutional amendment that would allow early voting in the 2010 statewide elections.

The amendment is just one of several controversial measures before the General Assembly stemming from problems in last year?s election: lack of a voter-verified paper record on electronic voting machines, difficulty recruiting and training election judges, lack of absentee ballots and allegations of campaign fraud on Election Day.
