Oregon Governor Election Results: Oregon Live Projects John Kitzhaber As Winner Over Chris Dudley

Posted: 11- 3-10 08:22 PM


On Wednesday evening, the Oregonian called the Beaver State's 2010 midterm election for Governor for Democratic candidate John Kitzhaber over Republican opponent Chris Dudley.

The local news outlet reports:

Although Republican Chris Dudley continues to hold a slim lead, mathematical calculations based on statewide voting trends show Kitzhaber is likely to overtake him and win by about 10,000 votes out of 1.4 million cast. The newspaper's projections show Kitzhaber winning by 49 percent to 48 percent, which is outside the margin for automatic recount.

Oregon-based station KOIN local 6 also projected Kitzhaber as the winner of the race.
