If the steady stream of last-minute ballot drop-offers continues through the end of the commuting hour, voter turnout could end up being much better than many have predicted.

I was just down at the Multnomah County Elections office, observing all the procrastinating slackers dropping off their ballots. (Also, I was dropping off ballots for my slacker coworkers. And mine.)

There was a steady stream of cars lining up along SE 11th and SE Belmont where drive-by drop boxes are set up. It paled in comparison to the even-year election scramble, but wasn’t the ghost town I was pessimistically expecting.

Any bets on turnout for Multnomah County?
