Voting in Oregon
Many more than 1 million Oregonians had returned their mail ballots by Friday -- more than one-half the state's registered voters -- in a pace that is outstripping that of the presidential race four years ago.Charles Beggs "Election officials receive ballots from 51% of registered voters", AP, October 30, 2004.
The secretary of state's office reported that counties had received almost 1.1 million ballots through Thursday, from 51 percent of registered voters.
With a record 2.15 million Oregonians registered to vote, that meant county election workers were coping with 370,000 more ballots than had stacked up at the same stage four years ago.
