This is worded confusingly and the tweet text doesn't help at all, so to clarify: slavery is currently legal per the Oregon constitution (and the U.S. constitution) as a punishment for a crime. This ballot measure would remove this exception and make slavery illegal always.

(In Oregon specifically, of course.) So if you're in Oregon and see this on your ballot, vote yes to abolish slavery for real this time!
