PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The list of new governors in the World Almanac and Book of Facts is wrong on one fact — the winner in Oregon was not Republican Chris Dudley.
The Oregonian reports the respected almanac was under a tight deadline when it went to print the day after the Nov. 2 election, when Dudley was clinging to a slight lead.
But last-minute results from Multnomah County, with the largest population in Oregon, gave Democrat John Kitzhaber the victory.
Sarah Janssen, the World Almanac’s editor, said it was the first mistake found in the 2011 edition of the book, and she would personally correct the online version.
