Oregon delivers its electoral votes to John Kerry
No surprises here. The Salem Statesman Journal's Gabriela Rico reports:
And so it was, in a ceremony that was as historic as it was obscure, that the state of Oregon officially cast its seven allotted electoral votes for president of the United States.I'm proud to live in one of only eight states that has voted Democratic in each of the past five Presidential elections (only Minnesota and DC are more impressive, having gone to the Dems every election since 1976 and 1964, respectively). Oregon might not have picked the winner this year, but at least it's still hopelessly liberal.
They were tallied, certified and bestowed upon a man who will not reside in the White House during the next four years.
The voters had spoken -- sort of.
[...]
"So, we have seven votes for John Kerry for president of the United States," Bradbury said. "And I have to say, these paper ballots are really easy to read."
Oregon has favored the Democratic Party nominee for president in every contest since 1988.
