This is a BLUE STATE that Biden won in 2020, Clinton won in 2016, and Harris won in 2024. The Senate race is solidly BLUE, as are all House Districts apart from OR-2, which is solidly RED. However, to play it safe and ensure Democrats retain seats with a lower margin over the Republican, OR-4, OR-5, and OR-6 are categorized PURPLE for this election.
Senate Race
This is a Blue US Senate race. No matter how you vote, the Democrat incumbent, Jeff Merkley, is going to win this Senate seat! Therefore you are wasting your vote to vote for Merkley. You are safe voting for a third-party candidate without risking the outcome of this election. Since there are no third party candidates on the ballot,
VOTE for a write-in candidate of your choice for US Senate!
And swap your vote with someone in a purple state, whose Democratic vote really does matter. By voting for a write-in candidate here, and swapping your vote, you can actually help Democrats far more than by voting Democrat where they can’t possibly lose anyway.
