The 2000 Oregon Democratic presidential primary took place on May 16, 2000, in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election and was the only contest on that date. The Oregon primary was a closed primary and awarded 58 delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of whom 47 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results.
Vice president Al Gore won the primary with 84% of the vote and 47 delegates, while perennial candidate Lyndon LaRouche Jr. received 10%, missing the 15% threshold to be eligible for delegates, which the Democratic National Committee had announced he'd be barred from receiving anyways.Political Briefing; A Spot for LaRouche?
