Over half of the anti-Donald Trump protesters arrested at recent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, did not vote in the election, KGW reports. Of 112 people arrested by the Portland Police Bureau during the protests, at least 70 either did not turn in a ballot or were not registered to vote.

KGW arrived at its findings by comparing names of arrested individuals provided by the police with state voter logs held by Multnomah County Elections officials.
