paign announced that it
had signed a joint fund-
raising agreement with
the Republican National
Committee that will al-
low it to raise cash for
both his campaign and
other Republican efforts.
After months of discord
within the GOP, Demo-
crats displayed new signs
that it could have trouble
uniting around Clinton’s
candidacy as Sanders
plows through the end of
the primary calendar in
mid-June.
Sanders will need to
win about two-thirds of

delegates to end the pri-
mary season in a tie but
is not letting up.
“Before we will have
the opportunity to defeat
Donald Trump, we’re
going to have to defeat
Secretary Clinton,” Sand-
ers said Tuesday night
to cheers in Carson, Cal-
ifornia.
Clinton ended the night
with a commanding lead
of 279 pledged delegates
over Sanders and a dom-
inant advantage among
party officials and elect-
ed leaders known as su-
perdelegates.
The outcomes in Ken-
tucky and Oregon, where
Sanders led by 9 percent-
age points with roughly
three-quarters of the
vote counted, did not
dramatically change the
delegate count. The for-
mer secretary of state re-
mains on track to clinch
the nomination on June
7 in the New Jersey pri-

dent on big-money cam-
paign contributions and
be a party with limited
participation and limited
energy.”
Sanders pointed to
polls that show him in a
stronger head-to-head
matchup against Trump
than Clinton.
With his win in Ore-
gon, the billionaire busi-
nessman now has 1,160
delegates, putting him
within 77 delegates of
clinching the Republican
nomination.
Trump had 67 percent
of the vote in Oregon
with about a quarter of
the vote left to be count-
ed. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
and Ohio Gov. John Ka-
sich both got about 16
percent of the vote.
For Democrats, Clinton
and Sanders will each
pick up at least 25 dele-
gates in Kentucky with
five delegates remaining
to be allocated pending
final vote tallies.
In Oregon, Sanders will
receive at least 28 dele-
gates and Clinton will get
at least 24 of the 61 dele-
gates at stake.

volunteered for a candidate for the
first time in her life.
“I’ve never been political ever in my
life, never ever. I’ve never cared, I’ve
never been engaged,” Kinyon said, but
she wanted to rally for Sanders. “I’ve
made phone calls for him and I can-
vassed and I went to his rallies. I wish
I would have done more, but I have two
little kids.”
Similarly, the 26-year-old writer and
musician Fields Puckett IV said that he
switched his party affiliation to Demo-
cratic and voted for the first time in any
election. Puckett felt like his voice was
important in this election.
“I didn’t participate in the political
process before,” he said. “I was for
Obama, but I thought they had it taken
care of, and I didn’t think it was radical
enough to really need me. But I feel like
he really needed us.”
Not everyone was most concerned
with the democratic presidential elec-
tion. Transportation planner Sumi Ma-

One respondent answered the question
of why he voted with the deadpan re-

gas tax to fund road repairs.
“I think it’s a user-based fee and it
makes sense. We have a lot of deferred
maintenance and deferred transporta-
tion needs and I would like to see those
addressed,” Malik said. She also wanted
to vote to support city commissioner
Steve Novick because she believes he
has been doing a good job.
Many people talked about the impor-
tance of voting to be civically engaged.
eron Knight from the 3D Visualization
company, Spaceview, Inc., both said that
voting was an integral part of citizen-
ship. Maligie said that it was important
to vote in all elections. Knight said vot-
ing was meaningful to him because he
immigrated here from Canada. He also
said this election was a chance to vote
against crooked politics.
“I am very anti-corruption, so I am
trying to make a voice against corrup-
tion,” Knight said.
