GMO labeling likely in Oregon soon

The last election there was an issue on the ballot in Oregon to make GMO labeling mandatory in Oregon. So, because of laws regarding provisional ballots also on the books there, people are allowed to correct any mistakes they made on their ballots if they made a mistake so the ballot didn't get counted. People correcting their ballots likely will result in making GMO labeling mandatory in Oregon from now on. This will be the third state to do this. The first was either Vermont or New Hamshire, now Maine has also joined these states with likely more to come year by year now.

If you are interested in making your state do this too here are some helpful sites:
