Vice president Al Gore won the primary with 84% of the vote and 47 delegates, while perennial candidate Lyndon LaRouche Jr. received 10%, missing the 15% threshold to be eligible for delegates, which the Democratic National Committee had announced he'd be barred from receiving anyways.[1]
Voting took place until 8:00 p.m. local time. Candidates had to meet a threshold of 15% at the congressional district or statewide level to be considered viable. The 47 pledged delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the primary results. Of these, between 6 and 7 were allocated to each of the state's five congressional districts and another 6 were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 10 at-large delegates.[2]
The delegation also included 13 unpledged PLEO delegates: 4 members of the Democratic National Committee, 5 members of Congress (One senator, Ron Wyden, and four representatives, David Wu, Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio, and Darlene Hooley), the governor John Kitzhaber, and 1 add-on.[2]
