Nevertheless, this would mark the county becoming a Republican bastion.Lewis-Beck; Michael S.; ‘Election Forecasts in 1984: How Accurate Were They’; Political Science and Politics 18(1) (January 1985), pp. 53-63 Deschutes County, which was narrowly won by Clinton via plurality, would not vote for a Democrat again until 2020. Primaries Democratic Republican Despite having dropped out David Duke received 6,667 votes, worth 2.19% of the popular vote, in the Republican primary in Oregon which caused The Oregonian editorial board to write an editorial entitled "Duke vote a disgrace" where the editorial board criticized the large number of votes for Duke and how Oregon still needed to combat racism.
