On paper, it may seem like Bernie Sanders is a lock to win the Oregon primary, but not so fast. Oregon is largely white, liberal and has a similar makeup to neighboring Washington State, which earlier gave Sanders a huge victory with 73 percent of the vote. However, Oregon’s closed primary means only pre-registered Democrats can vote. This closed primary format favors front-runner Hillary Clinton, who has a perfect 8-0 record in such contests.
