minus-square@jordanlundOPMlinkEnglish5•2 months agoGood question… Statewide: No - 1,146,650 Yes - 826,823 The Wiki shows Mulnomah County voted for it by 50-60%, but I don’t see a source for it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months agohttps://results.oregonvotes.gov/ResultsSW.aspx?type=CTYALL&cty=26&map=CTY and click “Local Results For State Contests” 56.8% (213,693) Yes / 43.2% (162,466) No so not as big of a change as I thought. But I guarantee it made a difference, because if I saw that bullshit above on my ballot i’d be very inclined to vote against doing it again.
