First of all, a little known fact: Democrats actually OUTNUMBER Repubs in Oklahoma, predominantly in those outlying areas. (1.1 million dems to roughly 800,000 repubs) However, they are your "Old-school" democrats who often don't even get out to vote. Case in point- our most recently elected Democratic governor (Brad Henry)was just a shocked with the news of his win as was his opponent (Steve Largernt, former football player, well known). Know how it happened? Cock-fighting. There was a state question on the ballot proposing the ban of cockfighting. Hello, Governor Henry.


Now as to the Nov 3rd issue of the Tulsa World, please know we are working on it. There have already been countless emails flying around Oklahoma inboxes for issues of the Nov 3 Tulsa World.

We also had our own share of voter problems on Nov 2. In North Tulsa, a predominantly African-American community, we had reports of people dressed as police officers trying to intimidate voters. In south Tulsa we had reports of pre-filled ballots, people petitioning outside the polling place, and broken machines, well, just ALL OVER THE PLACE, with precinct workers saying, "Oh, just put your ballot in that box over there with the stack, and we'll run it through when the machine is back up..." and so on and so on.

Aack!
