In a potential major upset, Democratic U.S. Representative Kurt Schrader could lose his seat in Congress, if early primary election returns hold.

Blue voters in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District appear to have booted the seven-term incumbent in favor of Jamie McLeod-Skinner, a Terrebonne attorney.

McLeod-Skinner held a sizeable lead as of 9:30 p.m., although results are early and Clackamas County struggled to report results

The Brandon endorsed candidate is losing, and the Bernie endorsed candidate is winning.

The demos on CNN are tearing each other apart, fearing that the GOP candidate could take this seat.

Clackamas County struggled to report results

Does this district use computerized voting machines, paper ballots or a mail in system?

It's not like Clackamas Cty election officials should struggle at anything to do with voting.

Unless they choose to struggle ...

They are struggling to produce results because the actual counts and totals they are getting are not the counts and totals their leaders want.

America has been voting for hundreds of years, but suddenly it’s become a complex struggle which takes days and weeks for people to vote and for the votes to be counted.

That crap reeks like a 4 day old homicide scene.

Doesn’t help that states don’t allow counting until day of election. Pennsylvania small districts decided to begin counting today rather then be up all night.

CD-5 is the best chance for a pickup, but the Democrats’ very effective gerrymander takes away any real chance in CD-4, which often teased the Republicans in the later DeFazio years.

If the Rat winner in the new CD-6 (another Democrat-gerrymandered district) is a radical leftist moonbat like the CD-5 nominee, which is quite likely, the Republicans may have a greater-than-zero chance of taking this seat too, typical Democrat mail-in vote shenanigans aside.
