Election Day 2:46 p.m.

James Betzer is a Springfield, Oregon, native and a self-described bleeding heart, NPR-listening liberal. “I basically voted Democrat down the line because in my 43 years of experience, if there’s an R next to their name, they don’t have your best interest at heart,” he said. Since Oregon isn’t one of the seven swing states, he was focused on the local initiatives, like voting for more taxes on bigger corporations, because he believes they don’t pay their fair share.
