As of last night (latest update), Clackamas County says there are nearly 115k ballots. It's not clear if that's a finalized total or just known ballots at this point.

#LiveOnK2
Clerk Sherry Hall previously said about 2/3 of ballots were blurry. If that 115k is number of cast ballots, that would potentially mean about 75k have blurry barcodes.
On Friday, Clackamas County Clerk Sherry Hall said her office wouldn’t start actually duplicating ballots until TODAY.
Hall said there was a lot of work that had to be done over the weekend to prep for duplication process.

INDOOR MASKING IN OREGON -- It's likely here to STAY.
Today, @OHAOregon worked with stakeholders (like those in the restaurant industry, business assoc., etc.) to discuss making the current indoor mask mandate permanent.

Yes -- that may sound alarming. Here's what you need to know about it:
-The current rule is temporary. It can't be in place more than 180 days.
-Making the rule permanent allows the state to keep the rule.
-The rule can be repealed.

So what does the RAC do?
FROM OHA:
"The purpose of the RAC meeting is to seek input from committee members on the rules, including the projected burden & fiscal impact of the rules & suggestions for alternative language."
They give feedback on what should(n't) be in the ruling

.@PortlandPolice tells us so far this year there have been 62 deadly crashes on Portland streets. 26 of those crashes have involved pedestrians. PPB says we haven't seen this high of numbers in decades. #LiveOnK2
PPB says some of the city's houselessness population have died in these crashes.
"Some of them were impaired, some of them it’s the nature of where their camps - where they’ve set up their home," PPB's Sgt. Engstrom said.

PPB says the # of DUI arrests have gone down by a 1/4 to 1/3.
"That number is super low & it’s not for lack of drunk drivers," Engstrom said. "It’s for lack of our ability to get out there & find them."
He says the PPB staffing shortage is playing a part in these tragedies.

NO NEWS MONDAY… just a heads up, the @KATUNews morning and afternoon shows have been preempted and will NOT air on Monday, Sep. 27th. The entire news team is attending a seminar to help deal with on-the-job stress and trauma… #stressmanagement #LiveOnK2
In almost 25 years as a photojournalist, I’ve never seen a newsroom do this. But it’s been a crazy time filled with a raging pandemic, out of control violence, political unrest, riots, and ongoing death & destruction. Personally speaking, seeing bodies daily gets to you #stress
Even had a viewer send me this card, encouraging me to make sure I take care of myself… PTSD took the life of her ex-husband. As journalists we tend to move on to the next thing, and try to block out the bad stuff… #LiveOnK2 #stressmanagement #Mentalhealth
We’ve made it to Portland where the skyline is barely visible from the east side of the Willamette, the air quality here tonight is “hazardous.” With the fires burning in Oregon, upwards of 500,000 people have had to evacuate their homes. That’s 10% of the state’s pop #KOMONews
This just buzzed on @AdrianKOMONews’ phone. Looks like it came out about 40 minutes ago. Having lived and worked in Portland for 4+ years, it’s hard to imagine a town like Canby under a “BE SET” notice #KOMONews #LiveOnK2
BREAKING: @ClackCoSheriff enacts curfew beginning tonight in less than an hour. We’ve made it to Molalla, under a “GO NOW” evac warning, where people are dropping off food and water at the fire station #KOMONews #LiveOnK2
Headed to #Clackamas County where the county fire PIO confirms to KATU firefighters have been told to disengage from the massive #RiversideFire and encourage citizen evacuation on the way out. Firefighters are going to safe zones #LiveOnK2
Now this, from Sandy Fire: "As a safety precaution if you are able to voluntarily evacuate now under Level 2 this will help reduce traffic congestion in the event we reach a Level 3."

Traffic on 205S going towards #OregonCity is slowing down significantly as we edge closer to Oregon City; this pic is 3ish miles away. NB traffic is moving better. Visibility is diminishing significantly every mile we drive towards Clack Co #LiveOnK2
Headed into Marion County the smoke is thick in the air as soon as you pass Woodburn.
Extremely eerie.
According to Marion County Sheriffs Office some people have come into the local hospital with burns from the fires.

We are about 10 minutes out of Stayton. The smoke is getting extremely thick. #LiveOnK2
Seconds later it’s even worse. #LiveOnK2
Trump Rally at Clackamas Town Center. According to the Facebook page, the car rally should to downtown Portland around 6pm. #LiveOnK2
A quick walking tour of the parking lot. Flags as far as the eye can see. This is just half the crowd. #LiveOnK2
The Moms are making a human barrier at the courthouse #PortlandProtest
It’s hard to tell how many people are out here. Way more than last night, I think. #PortlandProtest #LiveOnK2
A dance party just a few feet from the open front door of the courthouse (I assume officers are in there. I can’t see them.) #PortlandProtest #LiveOnK2
Coming up in about 10 minutes on KATU, Portland Police spent more than $20k, on chemical riot agents on June 1. That purchase came just days after protests began in Portland. It's the largest single purchase I could find since at least 2017. #LiveOnK2
We requested records going back to 2016, an arbitrary date I chose. We wanted to see how much police spend on chemical and impact munitions. From what I can tell, most of the money went to purchases for training. But we found a couple big, specific purchase orders for June 1.
Here are three June 1 purchases. I consider it two purchases because a few are from the same company. Anyway, do with this what you want. You can cross reference some of the products on the Defense Technology website. Look for items with DefTech next to them. #LiveOnK2
It’s been months since a jury convicted him of all charges tied to the MAX stabbings. Today, Jeremy Christian is back in court today to be sentenced. He faces the possibility of life in prison.
Catch up here: katu.com/news/local/max…
Catch up here: katu.com/news/local/max…
The actual sentencing phase is getting started now after a morning of motions. We expect to hear a number of victim impact statements today. Demetria Hester is taking the stand first “We will keep fighting until people like Jeremy Christian are off the streets.”

Watch Victims and Family members face Jeremy Christian before he is sentenced. #LiveOnK2
