PORTLAND, Ore. - The Oregon Elections Division has thrown out the latest attempt to kick Portland's mayor out of office.

Patrick Mulcahy of Beaverton filed complaints with the Oregon Elections Division and the Oregon Attorney General on Wednesday.

Mulcahy accused Adams of getting elected through fraudulent means, namely because of his lies to the public about his relationship with teenage intern Beau Breedlove. He said his complaint alleged constitutional violations that should force Adams from office.
