A couple cross-posts from the OR-GOV thread:
Okay--- time for the daily OR ballot update.
11/7/22 9:54 AM DROP
Significant increase in total % of votes received between the 11/4/22 and the 11/7/22 update.
The part that gets a bit confusing for those attempting to cover the OR daily ballot return numbers, is that some counties are still working through recovering the numbers from the previous workdays returns and don't meet the state SoS publishing deadlines to report all numbers, but instead you get the "carryover" numbers from the preceding reporting period in the following daily returns, but yet allocated to the date in which ballots were received from boxes or via US Mail batches.
Regardless, I might get to that part a little bit later on in a subsequent post this PM, but will simply start with doing my usual drill of running the topline numbers from the official OR-SoS AM data dump after having posted the previous working-days official SoS reporting numbers:

Thinking about following up with another post shortly, since after all it is "Election Eve", which typically only happens in most places every two years in the US for GE, with the exception of more unusual things like special elections, off-cycle GOV elections in certain states such as VA & NJ, etc...
Might need to take a slight break and a puff of medicinal, since creating and running data numbers like this aren't especially easy to do in States where you can't easily export data files in various text based formats, and then instead are stuck with manual data entry from PDFs.
Get it that are file conversion software programs available for $$$, and where in theory can convert PDF file formats, run some code, convert into text files, and then convert into Excel using software such as Python or whatever...
Still, here is a B&W of current OR reported election ballots as of early today....
I might well run a few more numbers before Tomorrow, but no guarantees, plus need to relax a bit after a long day at the factory plus time-zone conversion and major random snow event which happened yesterday is messing with my groove.
