I voted for Tina Kotek but was appalled at The Oregonian/OregonLive for publishing the headline “Christine Drazan has not conceded to Tina Kotek despite losing governor’s race” on a Nov. 10 article when there were still more than enough total uncounted votes for her to arguably catch up and win. It is common for candidates in tight races to not concede until the margin of loss is insurmountable. They and their supporters have the right to hold out hope, and to not be labeled election deniers until the last vote is counted. The next time you forecast a winner, please be more respectful about it.
