The illogical order is:
Sanders
Warren
Biden
Gabbard
What's up with that?
BTW, polls don't close until 11 PM, but they expect almost instant results.

(11,370 posts)We did one vote Joe and one vote Liz just because we love her. We are Joe all the way in November I get what you want but seeing her name on there I couldnt resist.

(5,281 posts)We've been looking forward for months for our chance to vote vote for Elizabeth. Unless Joe picks her for his running mate, this may be the only chance we get.
Rest assured, when November comes around, we will be voting for Joe. No nose-plugging necessary.

(9,946 posts)President and we as a nation would have been served well.

(13,856 posts)I think most, if not all, states now use a random draw.

(53,061 posts)Then each would be at the top 25% of the time.
FL is the main exception which recently had a court ruling allowing the nominees of the Governors party to always be on top.

(52,130 posts)many states use a random order which changes from ballot to ballot. I don't know how Oregon works.

(10,073 posts)and shifts it for each assembly district. The reason: studies have shown that there's a definite bias in favor of the name on the top. Randomizing is designed to eliminate this - although it's sometimes hard to find your candidate.
I presume Oregon does the same or similar.
