(56,582 posts)Election results usually don't get certified for weeks after the night because absentee ballots take forever to count. And Oregon being essentially all "absentee" voting, it in particular will take a while.

(8,175 posts)I don't know what is taking it so long. I heard the final results would not be known until much later. What ever they are, Bernie's votes and delegates will go up and Hillary's will go down.
It sure would be nice to know. I know they got the biggest voter turnout in years, so the counting is taking longer.

I also found this spin nonsense on why the polls are off.
It is the problem with the age of the Sanders voters, say they. Here is a pitiful spin and cover story for the polling failures this year, from here: http://www.opb.org/news/series/election-2016/oregon-primary-poll-bernie-sanders-error/
"...The other thing is that we saw not just in our survey but in surveys and election results throughout the campaign so far is that there is this very, very sharp difference between younger voters and older voters in their support for Sanders versus Clinton, and its always difficult to predict with a poll whos going to show up to vote. ..."

(10,336 posts)in my own family (4 voters counted) is 64.5, but that includes my own age of 50's. If I was excluded (being the youngest) then the age would increase dramatically.
