Yeah, I read the rules carefully this time around (I haven't voted since 2004). You can cross out a previous selection and make a new selection.

I wrote-in for POTUS since that vote doesn't count in Oregon.

The befuddling thing to me is why everyone hates ranked-choice voting? Why would we not want a system that encourages voting for the person you want most, instead of being pigeonholed into voting for the team color that opposes the team color you hate? Of all the ways Oregon has been "progressive", they passed on that one. Even the R's passed on it; the only hope they ever had to have their team represented as governor.

I'm ready to listen to all reasons why ranked-choice is a bad idea though.
