Extremely smooth night for election administration across Oregon. All counties (except Columbia) have reported initial results. Subsequent updates will come on each county's individual schedule, which you can find at results.oregonvotes.gov #orpol

@CapitolCurrents Florida settles ties with a hand of poker. Some states draw names from a hat.

An #orpol note about today's coin flip in the HD8 race. The last tie, in 2016, was NOT decided by a coin flip. It was decided by each candidate rolling a die, and the higher roll won. Seems more exciting than a single coin toss, but nobody asked me. knkx.org/politics/2016-…

Election night reporting is live at results.oregonvotes.gov. Initial, unofficial results will be posted around 8 PM. Each county has their own schedule for updates thereafter. #orpol

Oregon's new @KidGovernor is better at this than most of her adult counterparts. Great job Zoya!

8. If we have close races, here's what to know about recounts: They happen automatically when the votes separating top two candidates - or yes/no on a measure - do not exceed one-fifth of one percent of the total votes cast ...

6. Counties certify results on December 5. Anything declaring a winner prior to December 5 is a projection from our friends in the media. Those are informative but they are not real. 7. State certification is December 15.

@rachelwalexande If I understand it correctly, anyone can buy a check mark the day before the election. Seems like a bad idea.

I realize people see verification as some sort of status symbol, but this is so bad for emergency communication & information accuracy. During Salem's next ice storm or wildfire or whatever, people need to know the info they're sharing is from real emergency management accts.

NEW: Twitter is planning to start charging $20 a month for verification. It’s Elon Musk’s first big project. Oh, and the team building it was told they will all be fired if they don’t meet a launch deadline of November 7th. theverge.com/2022/10/30/234…

@ByMikeBaker When I lived in Washington, DC, my car was stolen 3 times in 4 years. Twice it was recovered by the police after a chase. Once I found it on my own by driving around the neighborhood. Since moving to Portland, my car has been stolen 0 times. 🤞

For everyone out there who has had their car stolen, I am curious: Did you get it back? How was it found? In what condition was the vehicle? nytimes.com/2022/10/29/us/…
