Good evening,
A stack of pizzas has appeared here in the newsroom — an election night journalism tradition. We don’t get a lot of perks in this line of work, so we’ll take what can get.
We, like you, are awaiting the release of early Lane County vote tallies at 8 p.m. Meantime, we have been updating our Election Day “live blog” with various scenes from the day and background on the races we are keeping an eye on. Among them: Races for Lane County commissioner, Eugene and Springfield city councils, and the Eugene Clean Energy Fund ballot measure.
We will be updating the live blog frequently — until the wee hours — with results and reaction. Please follow along.
We also have a table of vote totals that we will begin updating after 8 p.m.
Other news today:
- A federal judge said yesterday that U.S. immigration officers need to turn over bodycam video of arrests going back to Sept. 1. U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai’s ruling referenced a Eugene man who was arrested this summer by ICE. Kasubhai said officers were improperly making “warrantless” arrests, and he accused ICE officers of lying in documents. Jamie Adame has the details.
- A 59-year-old man was pronounced dead at Terwilliger Hot Springs today, apparently of drowning, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office said. His name was not yet released. Jaime has this story as well.
- Sports writer Owen Murray has a roundup of the playoff situation for Lane County high school soccer teams, on both the girls and boys sides. Among the teams to watch: the Marist girls are looking on track in their effort to win a second straight state championship, Owen writes.
