Oregon voted for Obama...56% of the vote
My point is that if look county to county - Outside of the Portland Salem metro area republicans win hands down. In my county if are a democrat and you run for election, you are wasting your money. Hasn’t been a democrat elected to public office in decades.

If you scroll over those Eastern Oregon counties and look at the vote spread it isn’t even close - Reds win hands down.
