Surge in Orgeon Registrations Bodes Well for Sanders Win

This year's tidal wave of voter registration in Oregon, led by a significantly large surge from young people, could leave the state with its highest participation rate in decades.

A total of 2,293,959 voters, an all-time record, are now registered and eligible to cast ballots in the state.
...
In Oregon, the number of registered voters ages 18 to 29 has increased 21 percent since September, according to The Oregonian/OregonLive's analysis of Oregon's voter database.

The numbers also appear to underscore the premise that support for Sanders' race against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is driving the trend more than any groundswell for Republican businessman Donald Trump and his own outsider campaign.
