I live in Portland. I phone bank for Democrats, and hope for a tremendous blue wave.

That being said, the potential for abuse in using city employees to GOTV is clear. Republicans are right that the potential for abuse is evident, even if it is not exercised. If a conservative suggested this, liberal Portland would scream! Deciding where to canvass is a political decision.

City Council has not appropriated the funds for this project. Eudaly is acting beyond her authority as a Commissioner.

BAD IDEA!
