Actually, ~800,000 others elected his gun-hating butt to the chair. My vote had nothing to do with it.
May 2014 registered voters:
820,283 Democrat
651,112 Republican
491,217 Non-affiliated (whatever that means)
191 Americans Elect (whoever the bubblegum they are)
3,372 Constitution
99,188 Independent

Strange. Oregon must be the only state in the Union without Libertarians, possibly THE most pro-gun party in the Known Universe.
There is at least one
As for 'Non-affiliated', it simply means you're registered to vote, but don't align with a particular party. Biggest problem with choosing anything but Democrat or Republican is that primaries are closed in Oregon, so you don't get to help vote for those candidates. There is a petition underway this year to put it on the ballot in the fall to open up the primaries to all voters, not just 2 particular parties. It might be interesting to see if that goes anywhere.
