Oregon Works Magic! 0 comments
Here are results, from Andrew Villeneuve at Northwest Progressive Institute, who has gotten results from the OR Secretary of State's office:
Obama's lead in Oregon is huge. He has over sixty percent of the vote. Clinton is under forty percent. The exact numbers:
Hillary Clinton: 87,639 (38.20%)
Barack Obama: 140,582 (61.28%)
Andrew says, "That's a double digit lead for Obama, which is what I expected."
Breakdown by country for both parties:
Ron Paul made a decent showing, also in Kentucky
Bev Harris of Black Box Voting has some questions about scribbled signatures in OR and "moonshine math" in KY
McCain's Media advisor steps down to avoid working against Obama
