Businessman and Outsider Keith Wilson Leads Mayoral Race

In the city’s historic first use of ranked-choice voting, we likely won’t know who’ll be the next mayor until Thursday. But the first tally of ballots shows businessman Keith Wilson leads. He was ranked No. 1 on 36% of ballots counted in the first drop. There are as many as 53% of ballots left to be counted; those tallies won’t be available till this evening. After multiple rounds of tabulations, Wilson led Portland Commissioner Carmen Rubio, 63% to 37%. [Oregonian]
