Don’t Call It A Come Back!

Don’t tell the press (who prematurely called House District 39 on election night) but Bill Kennemer has now taken the lead over Toby Forsberg by 203 votes!

From Clackamas County Elections

State Representative, 39th District (9:41 update)

I’ll update this post when I get the next batch from Clackamas.

UPDATES ON THE JUMP … 10:45 Oregonian updates

The Oregonian has now called Scott Bruun and Sal Esquivel’s race. And has mysteriously removed the Forsberg check mark and wrote this story. Hey Janie … admitting that the Oregonian screwed up by calling this race too early would ALSO be appropriate.

At 2 PM the 12:30 Update for Clackmas became available online … Bill’s lead has extended by nearly 100 votes.
