    So does that mean they won't be listed on the ballot? What if they win as write-ins?

    Sounds to me like they are not allowed to remain in office, no matter how they do or don't appear on the ballot.

    Sounds like it. Just trying to think of what kind of drama we have to look forward to.

    Good. Don't run for office if you cant handle doing the task at hand. Goes for any politician regardless of party affiliation.

    Agreed. I hate how many of the politicians out there (regardless of their party affiliation) do the bare minimum of their job duties.

    Awesome! That is what the law intended. They knew the risks. Good riddance!

    What did they think would happen? The state passed a law.

    I guess this means the next legislature will likely be more productive, which is something to look forward to. These guys really through a monkey wrench into the gears of state government this last session, glad to see that kind of parliamentary trickery isn't going to be able to continue working without some real consequences. They'll be forced to really be much more selective on which things they are going to walk out on and throw fits about.

    They'll all get their jobs back after Idaho takes over Eastern Oregon.
