UPDATE: The Oregon Primary Strikes Back!

May 20, 2016

(snip)

Behold! I have discovered the true numbers — and no one is reporting them! Google’s primary results and the Guardian’s primary tracker (both of which receive their numbers from the Associated Press) both show that Bernie Sanders has won 320,746, out of 572,485 total votes. Both of them also show that Sanders, so far, has 56.0% of the vote. The Guardian says 95.5% of the vote is in and Google has rounded that up to 96%. I am writing you today to tell you that they are both full of — um, well — let’s just say that they’re lying!

According to the Guardian, all counties have 100% of precincts reporting, except for Multnomah County (which has the largest population), which they report with only 77.7% of precincts reporting — but remember:

We don’t have precincts.

The Oregon BoE confirmed for me that, indeed, Multnomah county has quite a bit of counting left to do. And, according to Multnomah County Elections Divisions, they have so far confirmed that they’ve received:

185,723 out of 269,994 ballots sent out — and counting!

This portends well for the Sanders campaign. NO wonder he trudges on. I suspect May will end up being VERY good indeed to him.

2. This is indeed the turning point of the Democratic primary season.

3. I agree. We are just now getting ready to see the real state of the race. nt

4. Yes!

[nenagh]

5. Thank you...was just looking for his update...

[silvershadow]

7. Yes, it really is! nt

[nenagh]

11. He writes so well...just saw he writes poetry..

6. Too funny. Everyone is wrong except for Mr. Blogger

This is the segment of the Sanders camp that gives the rest of em a bad name, complete, unbridled, tinfoil lunacy.

Sanders is not going to hit 60%, the threshold needed to get another delegate.

Sad, sad ppl around the internets.

8. Why is this relevant?

Do people still believe Bernie has a chance of nomination?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. The truth is always relevant. n/t

[JaneyVee]

10. Ok. But who was lying?

[AzDar]

12. K & R

[silvershadow]

15. Wait...

Really? Sounds too good to be true?

[silvershadow]

17. And yet it is. nt

[SpareribSP]

20. Yep, looking into it myself

You can already see Bernie with a much larger lead now here. Weird.

[silvershadow]

22. Not weird. They are still counting the votes. It takes longer to process the mail-in ballots.

[SpareribSP]

24. I guess what's strange to me

Is that the total is so different from election night and this is the first time I'm seeing anything about it. I figured it would be more of a big deal.

[silvershadow]

25. Well the news media has largely blocked Bernie from jump, so I guess it is just a continuation. nt

[asuhornets]

16. Sanders won Oregon..and you still come up with these conspiracy theories...

[silvershadow]

18. It is fact. They are still counting. nt

[SpareribSP]

19. Actually looking into it myself now, this might not be entirely bull

http://oregonvotes.gov/results/2016P/index.html

You can see that vote counting is still going on from their own totals, and the gap has increased from 9% to over 13% already. Who knows how much further it'll climb, but does look like he won by more than originally reported

[silvershadow]

23. Yes. It was expected though. nt

[SidDithers]

21. He'll probably pick up another 30 or 40 delegates!!...

Oh wait. No he won't.

The primary is still over.
