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 [1]

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 [2]. 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.
