Was just looking for the Oregon primary results on AP. There are four candidates on the ballot...

The illogical order is:

Sanders
Warren
Biden
Gabbard

What's up with that?

BTW, polls don't close until 11 PM, but they expect almost instant results.

It used to be a Sanders state, but I have see as many if not more Biden supporters than Sanders. LizBeth May 2020 #1

I would get a real kick if Biden pulls this state strong.

We did one vote Joe and one vote Liz just because we love her. We are Joe all the way in November I get what you want but seeing her name on there I couldn’t resist.

We've been looking forward for months for our chance to vote vote for Elizabeth. Unless Joe picks her for his running mate, this may be the only chance we get.

Rest assured, when November comes around, we will be voting for Joe. No nose-plugging necessary.

Then each would be at the top 25% of the time.

FL is the main exception which recently had a court ruling allowing the nominees of the Governors party to always be on top.

many states use a random order which changes from ballot to ballot. I don't know how Oregon works.

and shifts it for each assembly district. The reason: studies have shown that there's a definite bias in favor of the name on the top. Randomizing is designed to eliminate this - although it's sometimes hard to find your candidate.

I presume Oregon does the same or similar.
