Yeah, I did.Dude, that's what he said. LOLYou missed something:A groundswell of overwhelming support!!! This is YUGE!!
"She won by 31 votes"
A year ago, Democrats threw $200,000 and a first-tier candidate at Senate District 37, trying to unseat incumbent Republican Dan Newberry.
They lost the conservative west Tulsa County district by 15 percentage points.
A year go, a heavily conservative district could not be flipped even with a lot of Democratic cash and a heavyweight candidate thrown at it.
This year, it was flipped with little effort by a complete unknown.
You missed the fact that this was a SPECIAL ELECTION with ridiculously low turnout.
Complete but unofficial results showed Ikley-Freeman with 2,234 votes to 2,203 for O’Hara. As is usual with special elections, low voter turnout was an important fact — only 4,437 people voted in this election, compared to almost 32,000 in last year’s regular general election.
The area’s other special legislative election, in House District 76, produced no drama or surprises. Republican Ross Ford took nearly 70 percent of the vote to defeat Democrat Chris VanLandingham.
No he didn't.
The Republican voters didn't give enough of a shit to put up a fight.
Elections these days are decided by how many of your opponent's voters you can convince to stay home on election day.
