Oregon Primary check-in thread. Check in here when you mail in your ballot.
You can even mention how your votes went. I just mailed my ballot off for the May 20 primary.

I voted for Barack Obama for President.

Steve Novick for US Senate (DUMP GORDON SMITH!).

Earl Blumenauer for Congress (OR-3)

Sam Adams for Mayor of Portland.

1. Swag -- please help!
Who should I vote for for secretary of state? :shrug:

Also ... How did you decide on Novick? I'm torn between him and Merkley.

Thanks! :hi:

2. AG was a tough one. They'd both be good.
I was persuaded by Willamette Week to vote MacPherson, though, because I think Measure 11 sucks and Kroger supported it:

In the Senate race, that was also tough, but I chose Novick because I couldn't believe what a lackluster primary campaign Merkley has run.

You may be persuaded by other factors. Happy voting!
