"Preferred" was probably not the best choice of words, but there are several dozen articles on U.S. Senate elections in Oregon, another couple dozen on governor's elections, plus house and ballot measures, etc. All those use the flat-style template, and very few articles use the vertical infobox style one. There was a discussion about it a while ago, and I was simply implementing what I perceived to be the consensus. Feel free to reopen a discussion if you think necessary. Thanks! --Esprqii (talk) 21:53, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a problem with it. Although I think we should probably leave the other one up there too, since every other state in this article and the years before it used the square one at the top. But either way... Thanks for your time. Light-jet pilot (talk) 06:20, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like overkill to have two templates to me, especially since no one was even bothering to update the infobox one (which I have now done). But I'll worry about it 2014. --Esprqii (talk) 18:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
