NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Tuesday, July 24, 2018 Survey: Brown and Buehler tied for governor voters could sway the results. The governor’s race was just one of 25 ques- tions posed to the survey participants. Gravis has a 67 percent accuracy in calling races, according to Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight. For example, in January 2016, a Gravis Marketing poll got a Maryland congres- sional race wrong by 96 per- centage points, according to “The Fix” from the Washing- ton Post. This is the second time that Buehler has attempted to unseat Brown from a statewide elected position. In 2012, he challenged her for the office of secretary of state and lost with 43.2 per- cent of the vote compared with Brown’s 51.3 percent. By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau Likely voters appear to be evenly divided in the race for governor between Dem- ocrat Gov. Kate Brown and Republican Rep. Knute Bue- hler, according to the first public results of a survey, or poll, since the May 15 primary. The random online sur- vey of 770 registered vot- ers, considered likely to cast a ballot in the Nov. 6 general election, was performed by Gravis Marketing, a nonpar- tisan research firm that has been repeatedly scrutinized for inaccurate results. The survey was con- ducted July 16-17 and was weighted by voting demo- graphics. Gravis reported Rep. Knute Buehler Gov. Kate Brown paying for the survey and gave it a margin of error of 3.5 percent. About 45 percent of those surveyed indicated they would vote for Brown; the same percentage said they would vote for Buehler. Ten percent of respondents were uncertain. The campaigns for both candidates declined com- ment on the survey. Patrick Starnes, the Inde- pendent Party of Oregon nominee, and other third- party nominees for gover- nor were not offered as an option, so it’s unclear how undecided and third-party Judge hears arguments over endangered sucker fish nia farmer Ben DuVal filed to intervene in the tribes’ lawsuit. They argue an injunction would have a dev- astating effect on local agri- culture, and claim there is no scientific evidence linking higher water levels in Upper Klamath Lake with healthier sucker populations. Both the shortnose and Lost River suckers — known to the tribes as C’waam and Koptu — were listed as endangered in 1988. The tribes’ lawsuit, filed in May, claims the bureau continues to operate the Klamath Project “in a man- ner inimical to the contin- ued existence and ultimate recovery of the C’waam and Koptu and in direct violation of the (Endangered Species Act).” Don Gentry, tribal chair- man, said the intent is not to harm agriculture, but to do what is necessary to protect the fish. If the Klamath Tribes suc- ceed with their injunction for more water in Upper Klam- ath Lake, Johnson said it would essentially shut down surface water irrigation for about 360 square miles in the project. EO Media Group SALEM — A federal judge heard arguments in a case filed by the Klamath Tribes of southern Oregon seeking greater protections for endangered sucker fish in Upper Klamath Lake. San Francisco District Judge William Orrick lis- tened to the arguments Fri- day in a lawsuit that requests an injunction to hold more water in the lake for short- nose and Lost River suck- ers, a culturally significant food for the tribes, the Cap- ital Press reported. However, farmers and ranchers worry the injunc- tion would shut off surface water irrigation in the Klam- ath Project, costing about $400 million in lost annual economic value. Orrick did not issue a ruling, and is considering a motion to move the case to a different court. He did not give a timetable for his decision. The non-ruling means irri- gators in the Klamath Project will be allowed to continue watering their crops — for now, said Mark Jackson, deputy director of the Klam- Steve Silton/The Herald And News via AP, File This May 2013 file photo shows Klamath Falls, on the far side of Upper Klamath Lake.
