Snail Voting in Oregon

The American Prospect has a story or two on voting by mail in Oregon.

It sounds like it's good for voters (although you might miss the little twinkle of patriotism you feel going to the polls) but not particularly better for one party or the other, so don't know if it'll catch on anywhere else. But in this day and age, anything to make voting easier (and more accountable) is a good idea.
