Ballots are due by 8 pm today. You know the drill: Either drop them off at any Multnomah County Library, or head to the county elections office at SE 11th and Morrison. (Then head to the election parties!)

Meanwhile, the candidates are out, furiously seeking your support. Jim Middaugh was on the Hawthorne Bridge this morning, juggling fire (or so he promised last night… not sure if the rain killed that plan), and Charles Lewis has been staking out the bridges over the past few weeks.

Also at the bridges—this time at the Morrison Bridge—Steve Novick and supporters of his U.S. Senate bid waved to morning commuters last Friday. Every time the light changed, Novick and the people holding his giant banner made a quarter turn to face the oncoming traffic.

The day before, Jeff Merkley—racing against Novick for the Democratic nomination—was at the N Lombard MAX station, greeting people as they stepped off of busses and onto light rail cars.

Mayoral candidate Sho Dozono had his own Get-Out-The-Vote method: One of his supporter hung a sign from a building across SE Morrison from Multnomah County Elections. But the sign was too close to the ballot drop off site—political propaganda has to stay 100 feet away from election sites.

“There was a sign across the street at one of the businesses. It was just within 100 feet. We went over and asked that they moved it outside of 100 feet,” says elections’ Eric Sample.

And they did move it, to just past the 100-foot mark. (It had been hanging from the brown wooden sign on the left side of this photo.)
