Oregon has one of the best voting systems in the nation.

[fun n serious]

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]

1. If Bernie loses Oregon I'll eat my hat.

EDIT - and yeah, honestly, I'll probably call bullshit.

[fun n serious]

3. The polls show Hillary ahead.

We're quiet but we vote..

[Juicy_Bellows]

4. I am not worried, I know the town and state I love will bring Bernie a victory.

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.

[fun n serious]

6. Nope.

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]

7. East Portland? all the poor folks where forced to move......

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]

9. It's a deal. I'll do the same

Oregon Humane society sounds good to me.

[Juicy_Bellows]

10. Alrighty - fair enough.

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.

[fun n serious]

11. Peace to you. nt

[DLCWIdem]

13. that is a friendly competition

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.

[fun n serious]

20. not usually sane and rational. lol

I'm just wore out of fighting.

[DLCWIdem]

29. yes but

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]

35. You win!!

And my donation to the OHS is OK by me. Peace to you! Congrats on your win

[joshcryer]

36. Kudos.

[Juicy_Bellows]

38. Gracias!

Thank you for the wager and being cool about it.

[Buzz cook]

30. You won't find many poor folk in Lake Oswego nt

27. Ashland

[Warren DeMontague]

18. -A- poll.

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"

[Bluenorthwest]

21. I know one Hillary voter. I am a person with a landline and I do pick up polling calls in election

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]

24. Isn't it bizarre

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]

32. Good grief.

I voted for Avakian because the measure 91 people like him. That's good enough for me.

[bkkyosemite]

2. Yes we do BUT having a talk with an election office I asked a question....who owns

the tabulators throughout the state. The same private company.

[scscholar]

5. As someone that votes by mail in Washington state, no.

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]

28. I live in Washington too and I hate vote by mail

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!

[NWCorona]

8. I like going in person but that's still a good system seeing you can self verify.

I love Oregon and will be at PIR next weekend. I actually think Hillary has a shot at the Beaver State.

[Juicy_Bellows]

12. I think you might be pleasently surprised at OR results.

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]

14. Just for fun. I do participate in vintage days tho.

Do you head out to the track?

I hope you're right about Sanders. I have my fingers crossed!

[Juicy_Bellows]

15. I used to go quite often but that was before I had to sell my 914.

She was cherry, and I have my fingers crossed too but I think he's got it.

[NWCorona]

16. I hope you sold it recently! Those have gone up in price quite a bit!

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]

17. It was about 10 years ago. I should have held onto it but couldn't afford to at the time.

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]

19. I havent cried foul on any of the states.

But I dont think Hillary is going to win Oregon.

[Codeine]

22. Even as a Hillary supporter

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]

26. I've answered three polling calls this cycle, each one was slated, push poll type stuff.

Have not completed a single one. This applies to State wide races as well.

[Bluenorthwest]

23. Who is 'y'all'? And why not speak of what your choices will be if Bernie wins Oregon rather

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]

25. You forgot to mention

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.

[CorkySt.Clair]

31. You have your answer from the Berners

If HRC wins Oregon, it will be because she cheated.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Whereas WHEN Sanders wins Oregon, it will be "operation chaos" and "Oregon is all white people!"

...Speaking of excuses.

[KingFlorez]

34. It's a closed primary, so they'll blame Sanders loss on that

"INDEPENDENTS WERE ROBBED OF THE VOTE!"

[Warren DeMontague]

37. Guess you can rest easy, huh.
