What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections

And Nathaniel, Clackamas will take longer than normal to report because of the barcode issue.

In Oregon’s 5th District, with 25 percent of the expected vote reporting, Jamie McLeod-Skinner has a wide lead over incumbent Rep. Kurt Schrader, 65 percent to 35 percent. However, I’m not writing Schrader off yet. Most of the votes so far are coming from Bend’s Deschutes County, which was not in Schrader’s old district. No votes are reporting yet from his home county of Clackamas.

Oregon’s 6th District played host to the most expensive Democratic primary this cycle, but Carrick Flynn, the beneficiary of over $11 million in support from cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, is in a clear second place behind state Rep. Andrea Salinas with about 30 percent of the vote counted. Salinas leads, 37-19 percent.
