They should permanently switch Oregon from the mid-term cycle to the presidential cycle while they're at it; the other statewide offices (SoS, Treasurer, AG) already are. Next year's special gubernatorial election is probably going to have ~30% more votes than 2014's.

He resigned last month amid all the issues with his fiancee's consulting work. Oregon has no lieutenant-governor so the Secretary of State (Kate Brown) was in line to become governor. A special election will be held in Nov 2016 for the remainder of the gubernatorial term elected in 2014.

Brown appointed her replacement this month with the appointee already announcing they don't plan to run for reelection in 2016. There's also some talk of other Democratic officials considering running for Governor so the primaries might be interesting.

And GOP smarts realize that more people voting = Republicans losing.

Definitely FF, I'm liking her a lot so far. Imagine if this kind of bill was signed in a state like Florida or Ohio...

They definitely should.  Tell your friends in Oregon to tell their state legislators to do this. Florida used to hold its statewide elections in midterms many years ago.

I could see it happening in Colorado.  That's probably the best opportunity of the major swing states this decade unless it can be done by referendum somewhere else.  I could certain see Minnesota doing it in the near future.
