We vote by mail and you can track your vote online to make sure it was counted. IF Bernie loses Oregon will y'all cry foul?

Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)Eugene and Portland metro will kill it for Bernie - hell I think he takes Bend and Salem too.
EDIT - I'll give ya The Dalles though.

(4,451 posts)PDX Suburbs, Gresham, Hillsboro, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego, Canby, East Portland where the poor foiks were forced to move to by elite white liberals... I think it will be close. We'll see.
Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)OK, bookmark it - if Bernie loses OR I'll happily toss $100 towards any charity of your choice. I'd recommend the Oregon Humane Society but it's your pick.
fun n serious
(4,451 posts)Oregon Humane society sounds good to me.
Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)Until May 17th then.
EDIT- Either way the OHS win and I can live with that but I honestly think your chances are slim.
Cheers.

(1,580 posts)I just have to say after some of the exchanges i have seen here that I am very impressed with both of you being sane and rational.

(4,451 posts)I'm just wore out of fighting.
DLCWIdem
(1,580 posts)If we could all bet maybe we would say you have to do a nice article about the others candidate if I win. So Sanders supporters would actually have to put their money where their mouth is so to speak an or vice versa. Probably wouldn't work because everytime HRC wins its cheating or it doesn't count for some reason.
fun n serious
(4,451 posts)And my donation to the OHS is OK by me. Peace to you! Congrats on your win

(80,708 posts)Two things I will say about the Oregon I know, I don't know anyone who is voting for Hillay Clinton, and I dont know anyone who has a landline that they will answer if the caller id says something like "DMH research"

(45,319 posts)season. This cycle I have not completed a single telephone poll on any race, Presidential or otherwise because every poll I have started turns very 'push poll' very quickly and I just hang up. This is not how it has been in other cycles. I had a call about the Sec of State race that was basically 'If we told you good people hate Avakian would that make you less prone to vote for him? What if we told you he was a pirate?'
LoverOfLiberty
(1,438 posts)How that SOS race has turned so negative? It seems they mostly have the same ideas so its all character attack.
Very ugly.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)I voted for Avakian because the measure 91 people like him. That's good enough for me.

(5,792 posts)the tabulators throughout the state. The same private company.
scscholar
(2,902 posts)Too many votes are thrown away. Immediately after the last election, my county admitted to not counting 7% of the votes. Also, since my county added a crappy Windows machine that has a web interface to their database, I haven't seen my vote count a single time.
Also, the county claimed that only 80% of my precinct voted yes for gay marriage. We all know that percentage is too low.
LisaM
(27,864 posts)And one reason is the example you gave above, thousands of spoiled ballots. Something like 30,000 one election. They are so married to the system that they don't publicize this at all. Glad you brought it up. Time for a phone call!

(8,541 posts)I love Oregon and will be at PIR next weekend. I actually think Hillary has a shot at the Beaver State.
Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)Anecdotal for sure, but everyone in Portland metro that I have talked to and that's a lot - I've been working for Sanders locally for a few months - He's gonna crush it.
Very few HRC supporters but I have met a few, unfortunately I've ran into more than a few 'Who Cares?' but only slightly larger in number than HRC supporters.
Going to track night eh? You got a fat ride or just there for the fun?
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)Do you head out to the track?
I hope you're right about Sanders. I have my fingers crossed!
Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)She was cherry, and I have my fingers crossed too but I think he's got it.
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)I had a 951 that was set up for the track and was a blast to drive. I sold it recently to fund other projects in the garage.
Juicy_Bellows
(2,427 posts)951, that's an 80's model 944 no? Nice.
I swear I'll get another 914 (this time I'll go with a Subaru engine mod) or a 1970s 911 before I'm dead.
Cheers.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)But I dont think Hillary is going to win Oregon.
Codeine
(25,586 posts)I think Sanders probably has Oregon wrapped up. It strikes me as a difficult state to poll, and mail-in voting probably makes new voters and young voters a more reliable and potent voting bloc.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)Have not completed a single one. This applies to State wide races as well.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)than address others as some faceless mass? Do you have a voice of your own that speaks of your own intentions and objectives directly rather than this furtive, passive aggressive inquisition of 'y'all'?
I tire of those who preach sermons to all the sinners they see around them, I favor those who speak their own minds.
LoverOfLiberty
(1,438 posts)that the state automatically registers you to vote when you apply for or renew your driver license. Maybe in a close primary that won't make much of a difference but it should lead to greater turnout.

(1,507 posts)If HRC wins Oregon, it will be because she cheated.

(80,708 posts)...Speaking of excuses.
