Each election opens in its own mode: the forecast before the votes are counted, the live count while races are still too close to call, and the results once every race is decided.

1934 Oregon governor election

Charles H. Martin (Democrat) beat Peter Zimmerman (independent) in Oregon in 1934, 38.6% to 31.6%, a margin of 7.0 points and 21,158 votes.

Oregon changed party: in 1930 it went third-party, for Julius Meier.

Democrats led in 22 of the 36 counties as they stood then and other candidates in 8 and Republicans in 6. The largest, Multnomah, cast 109,636 votes and went to the Democrat by 14.9 points. The closest was Crook, where 26 votes separated the top two.
