See this adorable and civically engaged baby ? She's totally in the tank for Obama. And she's annoyed that, of 436,489 registered voters in Multnomah County, only 283,111 of you had turned in your ballots by 8 am this morning. That
64% , guys. You can do better!
As soon as turnout tops 80%, this awesome baby, who belongs to a
Willamette Week employee and is
very concerned about the future of this country, will become
happy . But if it doesn't happen by 8 pm,
she will be very upset!
Don't disappoint the baby. Vote!
Here's a list of official dropsites.

UPDATED 5:30 PM: 75%. Keep 'em coming.
