In this fourth and final episode of the first season we Revisit the Moment, Gordon Smith grapples with another opportunity to pursue a seat in the US Senate, his decision leads to an unlikely partnership, Phil Keisling continues his efforts to make every Oregon election vote-by-mail, and we reflect on what vote-by-mail has meant for Oregon over the past 25 years.

In 1995-96, Oregon made history by conducting the first election for a federal office entirely vote-by-mail. The election to fill the seat vacated by the resignation of Sen. Bob Packwood took place over the fall and winter. This required the campaigns to not only figure out how to run a vote-by-mail race but do so through the holidays and winter.
