1. Multnomah GOTV fail

If that stat's accurate, the rest of the state was more than 10 points over Mult, turn-out wise. Multnomah's the Democrats' lifeblood in close races.

6. All I know is that there were lines of cars on three streets, waiting to drop off ballots...

... in the Hollywood neighborhood at 7:15 tonight.

Have those votes all been counted?

[0rganism]

7. county result link said "unofficial", but also 100% precincts reported

Not sure if that meant "counted" - their next update's about to happen.

2. Check the state site

According to this site, everything has been counted, except we know it hasn't or there would be a winner. It's got voter turnout at 52%. They can't be done yet. I think it's just the way they're putting it on the web sites. Multnomah County couldn't possibly have had a 39.67 turnout. Not when everyone knew how close Kitz' race is. There's got to be some other explanation for these numbers.

4. county results are 2k *over* egov's

Either something very suspicious is happening, or Portland just gave up on this election.

10. Hmmm .... It is hard to believe the Multnomah Co. numbers .....

< 40% ?

Sheeeesh .... It was a beautiful day too ..... a perfect day to spend a few minutes completing a basic ballot and walking it to a ballot box ....

39% ? .... That would be shameful ...

[Nostradammit]

3. ONLY 39% TURNOUT IN MULTNOMAH COUNTY???!!!

That seems extremely fishy to me.

[ORDagnabbit]

5. I know! I went back to 2008 and we had an 86% turn out...

Me too

The whole state is only at 52% and was projected between 60-70%. I just don't think they're done counting and the way they're updating the tallying is just screwy.

9. NY Times has

Dudley 541,000
Kitzhaber 522,000

and only 59% of Multnomah reporting.

Somebody's numbers are off.

[sandnsea]

11. This OregonLive map has 56%

So yeah, I think it's just the way they udpate the site. I hope anyway.

13. Well, here's what's left of the Dudley campaign party tonight

Can't you feel the electricity in the air?


Hope persists.

[renate]

12. I hadn't heard Dudley speak until tonight

He sounds kind of like a moron. My husband says he went to Yale--is that right?

[sandnsea]

14. So did George Bush

:shrug:

He says waitresses shouldn't get a minimum wage and the wealthy should get tax cuts. And unemployed Oregonians voted for that shit. :crazy:

I'm still holding out for Portland because I just don't believe that turnout is right.

[neverforget]

15. My wife and I voted for Kitzhaber but we live in Clackamas County.

I'm shocked that Multnomah County is having such a poor turnout. Good God! Could we have Governor Dudley? :banghead:

[ORDagnabbit]

16. okay some good news

the multnomah election site results display sucks and someone needs to rewrite how they present their information...

They are not at %100! they're still counting cause when I checked again there were 10000+ more votes and the percentage turnout went up..

Keep your fingers crossed..
