Because the Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that the Republican state senators who walked out of a legislative session are ineligible for reelection. (original story here)
To recap, fed up with Republican legislators antics, repeated walkouts, voters approved an initiative banning legislators from standing for reelections if they missed too many legislative sessions.
They walked out, and have lost every case trying to stand for reelection, so 10 of the 11 Republicans in the state Senate cannot stand in the next election.
Good.
