More than half of arrested anti-Trump protesters didn't vote in Oregon

No. But of course when you ask a question like that in this thread, it's painfully obvious that you're missing the point.

I have a feeling that most of those arrested aren't protesters. They are more likely infiltrating law abiding peaceful protests and creating chaos and mayhem. The real protesters have got out of hand a few times, and some of their protesting defies logic to me. Portland is probably one of the most heavily Democrat cities in the nation by percentage, so why they would obstruct traffic and cause issues to their fellow Clinton and Bernie voters is beyond me. Maybe they feel they have to push limits to hit national news. Anyway, the fact that many didn't vote is kind of immaterial in a way. Portland, and the state of Oregon would have easily gone Democrat if none of the protesters voted, multiplied by ten.
