According to voter registration statistics released by the Secretary of State on Friday, the Independent Party of Oregon now has more than 12,500 members, becoming the 4th largest political party in Oregon. The growth of the party, which is just year old, is unprecedented for an Oregon-based minor political party. The Independent Party will almost certainly become Oregon's third largest party (and largest minor party) by the end of March 2008, if not sooner.
