Pretty sad that 69% of Oklahomans voted to allow the office of their elected officials to be vacated without replacement... I guess the people of Oklahoma don't want to be represented in state government.

I was one of the 31%. I honestly think voters thought it was a "support the military law", the other two actually are which was why they passed by 90%. I wish these voters would do research and see that many of the judges are liberals appointed by henry and vote them out.

I'm happy Oklahoma is solidly red but we can do better.

Too many people are blinded by "support our military" that they don't bother actually read the measure and realize that they are potentially voting away representation and voting in inherent conflicts of interest.

The keyword in the other two is "tax exemption".

Looks like it will be a standard 6th year midterm after all. GOP is projected to take control of the Senate with 51 seats so far, hold the House and maybe pick up 10 seats, and pick up a few governorships.

I'm certain the GOP will still do nothing about immigration, wages, budgets, infrastructure. They'll focus on govt shutdowns, pissing women and minorities off and alienating workers, protecting big business and Wallstreet ect.

They have a chance to govern but I doubt they right the ship.

Yawn!!! They can not do any worse then the Dems have for the last 8 years, but they will probably try only to be vetoed by Dohbama. You probably will not like what they do but at least half the country will.

Yep, Republican will take over the Senate.

Lets hope they actually get to doing something.

Securing the border first, screwing Obama on his amnesty program, getting the pipeline going, and cutting waste from government.

Agreed, plus opening up more government land to drilling, cutting the EPA off at the knees, etc.
