No Voting, Beer Party in Progress

Voters in Portland over the weekend might have been stymied by a beer fest. Go home Portlandia, you’re drunk.

Activist Alley Valkyrie, formerly of Eugene, snapped this photo in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square, posted on social media and commented, “Two days before ballots are due, and the downtown ballot box was blocked by a beer fest. Democracy in action, folks …”

According to the square’s website, it was Widmer Hefe Day on May 15.

Lane County residents can find their ballot dropsites here. Ballots can no longer be mailed and are due by 8 pm May 17.
