In response to "What on earth is taking Oregon so long to count? -- nm" by ty97

all vote-by-mail.

In WA, you are allowed to postmark by election day.

In OR, you have to drop it off on election day or be received in the mail by election day.

- takes time to open them and you have to check that they are from registered voters (hopefully cross-checking they also didn't vote in person) -- nm - zork Nov 5, 22:50 1
  - Yep. And Multnomah County is suffering staff shortages, the counting machines are breaking down, and there's an immense turnout. - ReluctantCynic Nov 6, 00:52
- I don't know. Here in King County, they have a room full of new, faster ballot counting machines. - psilotum Nov 5, 22:48
