Oregon is typically known as a bastion of West Coast liberalism, where Democrats are easily elected and a Republican hasn’t served as governor since the early 1980s.
But with an unusually competitive three-way contest for governor, the Democratic candidate’s success is hardly a guarantee this year. As mail-in ballots become available to voters next week, Oregon is becoming the unlikely site of one of the most competitive governor’s races in the country.
The main reason for the race’s unpredictability is Betsy Johnson, a longtime former Democratic lawmaker with a fondness for salty language who is aiming to become the first unaffiliated governor elected in Oregon in almost a century.
Polls show Johnson with double-digit support, and Democrats have called her a spoiler who is taking votes from their nominee, Tina Kotek — and could lead to a GOP victory. Her bid has been aided by GOP donor and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, who donated at least $3.75 million to Johnson’s campaign before giving $1 million in recent weeks to Republican candidate Christine Drazan.
The tight contest between Kotek and Drazan, with Johnson trailing, has caught the attention of the White House. On Friday, President Joe Biden visited Portland to campaign with Democrats and urge voters to back Kotek. […]
Republicans say Oregon voters are frustrated by issues like homelessness and crime and are ready for a change. Drazan, Kotek and Johnson — who all served in the Oregon Legislature — each say curtailing homelessness will be their priority if elected governor. …

Lol. This will never happen.
I remember many years go when Dino Rossi won in Washington State.
Oregon will use the same playbook
Is Ore-Gone a winner by plurality; or a top-two runoff state?
Most of Oregon needs to join Idaho.
The rabid leftist AP can be trusted to report truth? HaHaHaHa. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
Oro gone uses electronics and ballot drop boxes in their voting system. With that, the democrats are a sure win, just like in WA and Kalifornia with like and kind voting systems.
No, hence the topics I posted the thread with.
Maybe enough people have figured out that the Democrats want to kill everybody, OR the vax has thinned their herd?
The Dems run a Libertarian in virtually every competitive race whose sole purpose is to steal votes from the Republican candidate, so now they’re angry at seeing the same happen to them?
Oh, please.
If it causes the Republican to win, call it poetic justice.
This might be a wave year. Just like 1994 and 2010. Americans have realized that the Democrats have gone insane. But this won't last long. 2024 should be back to normal and we should see that election being more competitive. That said, we may have blown an opportunity in PA and GA with two weak candidates for the Senate which should make it 52-48 for our side after we're done with 2022. Instead it'll be more likely to be 50-50.

Or cartel .
I SHALL NEVER FORGET THAT ELECTION. I WAS ASTONISHED BY THE “FOUND BALLOTS” IN CARS AND EVERYWHERE ELSE.
I WAS SICKENED BY WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE FRAUD.
WHAT AN INNOCENT I WAS AT THAT TIME.
And today, those corrupt people are STILL trying to create evil.
And I live on the East Coast, but I still cared about that election.
..The former. Remember Al Mobley?
Thanks.
Oh please... There will be enough votes “ found” to install Kotek as gov. Kotek owns Oregon and the democrat marxist machine will install her as gov.
Only if God allows that, like He allowed the 2020 steal as a warning to us.
Oregon has had mail in voting since the 90s, I’m not mistaken. Since then, statewide offices have been Dem/Leftist ever since.
But it’s time to me a bit more accurate and say that populations of liberal hypocrites, hippies, radical leftists in Portland, Salem, and Eugene, combined with all the fraud make Oregon a Blue state. As it goes for so many other Boue states.

Indeed it’s why the sign entering state reads
WARNING ENTERING OREGON
California and Washington have the same thing
