| Vince Jones-Dixon. |
We have some new numbers in the Multnomah County elections. Jessie Burke lost more ground today, another 200 votes, to Sam Adams. She’s toast. And in District 5, East County, Vince Jones-Dixon has climbed a hair over the 50 percent mark, avoiding a runoff that he would surely win anyway.
They counted about 22,000 ballots today. They must be pretty close to finished.
Too bad about Burke, and I’m not wildly optimistic about VJD, although one can hope he gets it. With candidates and voters like ours, Portland’s hard times seem unlikely to improve any time soon.
