Oregon vote expected to top 1 million
Posted by The Associated Press, staff reports May 20, 2008 15:00PM


The procrastinators and the undecideds started flooding drop boxes today as Oregon got ready to count its primary election votes, which are likely to be swelled by a spirited contest between Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Ballots are counted tonight. By then, state officials estimate, more than half the state's 2 million registered voters will have returned their ballots.

Preliminary results from a phone poll during the past week in Oregon found that fewer than half of Oregonians picked the economy as the most important issue facing the country. Three in 10 said Iraq and two in 10 said health care, The Associated Press reported.

The survey by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International found Clinton ran stronger among Oregonians who voted earlier, while Obama ran better among those who mailed or delivered their ballots closer to election day.
