Listen "Explaining vote-by-mail, plus how we call election winners"
Episode Synopsis
Oregonians love vote-by-mail. Do we actually how it works?
On this episode, politics editor Betsy Hammond talks about the nitty gritty details behind our vote by mail system and the task ahead for much of the rest of the country at states are now trying to figure out — during a pandemic no less — what Oregon has been refining since 1998. We talked about voter turnout, what to expect on election night and how she’s helped lead the newsroom’s decision desk for since 2008 to call races quickly and accurately.
We've updated this episode to reflect a correction: We incorrectly stated when Oregon counties can start counting ballots. Counties can start scanning ballots up to one week before Election Day with the state's approval. Multnomah County, for example, plans to start scanning ballots on Wednesday, Oct. 28. We regret the error.
