Although Republican Gordon Smith is still ahead, the Oregonian reports:

Despite the closeness of the count, expert number crunchers said they expect Merkley to win, perhaps handily. Portland pollster Tim Hibbitts, appearing as an analyst on Fox News(12), outright called the race for Merkley, based primarily on how many votes remain uncounted in Democrat-rich Multnomah County.

Multnomah County is way too close to King County (in many relevant ways) for me to have any confidence that this will end well.

Indeed, the fact that Oregon is mail-only, rather than heavily mail-based like its neighbor, only increases the opportunity for Gregoire-type shenanigans and tomfoolery.

They'll keep counting, and keep finding votes, until Merkley is ahead. Then they'll stop counting.

Sigh.
