Bernie Sanders has been winning about 68.9% of the votes that are still being counted in Oregon!



Greetings, my beloved friends! I have a special treat for you, today  and it has to do with the real numbers of the Oregon Primary that took place on Tuesday, the 17th.



First, a Bit About

How This Article Happened



I know that many of us (me included) felt somewhat disappointed by the Oregon results  we had hoped to win a bit bigger there. Indeed, I expected us to! Alas ! On the night of the 17th, around 60% of the vote was reported very quickly (those were the earlier mailed-in ballots)  then, we watched as the percent of the reported votes crawled slowly up to around 92%, at which point I collapsed from exhaustion around 4:30am. The next day, our numbers continued to rise (but at a snails pace!) until the Associated Press was reporting that we had won Oregon with about 56% of the vote, with about 93% of precincts reporting. On the night of the 18th (if I remember correctly), the % of precincts reporting stalled at 95.5% and hasnt moved since (Ive been watching it like a hawk!).



Then, today  the 19th  I grew impatient!



I thought to myself, Im going to call the Oregon Board of Elections and see whats taking them so long! Yesterday, at some point, I had learned that Oregon doesnt have precincts (because of our mail-in ballots) and it therefore seemed odd that the AP was reporting that 95.5%, or 955 out of 1000 precincts, was reporting.
