Than the governor mobilizes state law enforcement and calls in the National Guard.
Treason and riot is just that. See:

Governor's authority over Oregon National Guard:
Universal Citation: OR Rev Stat § 396.125 (2017)
(1) The Governor of this state, by virtue of office, is the Commander in Chief of the militia of this state, and may issue military regulations for the governance of the militia. Military regulations issued by the Governor shall have the full force and effect of law. To the extent a regulation issued under this section conflicts with any other law of this state, the regulation shall supersede the conflicting law.
(2) In issuing regulations under this section, the Governor may give consideration to the laws and regulations of the United States relating to the organization, discipline and training of the militia, to the provisions of this chapter and ORS chapters 398 and 399 and to the laws and regulations governing the United States Army and United States Air Force.

Current strength of the Oregon Military Department is 5,450 Army and 2,350 Air, for a total of 7,800 officer and enlisted personnel. The order of battle includes two infantry battalions, two mechanized cavalry squadrons, a field artillery battalion, a combat engineer battalion, and support and service elements, as well as two F-15 fighter squadrons; equipment holdings include 117 armored fighting vehicles, including 40+ tracked and 80 wheeled, which includes ~30 M-1 Abrams MBTs, as well as 20 helicopters and 54 F-15 fighters.
The sworn (law enforcement) personnel of the Oregon State Patrol number more than 400 (with another 700 civilian); there are other state law enforcement agencies as well.
I'd bet on Gov. Brown, who beat the Republican candidate in 2018 by six percent.
