Is Oklahoma a “Red” or a “Blue”

state?

A “Red” state tends to support Republicans for public office

A “Blue” state tends to support Democrats for public office

All but three Governors have been Democrats (Henry Bellmon, Dewey Bartlett,

and Frank Keating)

Only one Lieutenant Governor was not a Democrat

(Mary Fallin)

The Senate has always had a Democratic majority (currently 50/50 split but Lt. Gov. Jari

Askins, a Democrat, breaks all ties)

The House of Representatives has had a Democratic majority, except for 1921-1923 and

2005-Present

About 65% of Oklahoma’s voters are Democrats

Since the Presidential election of 1952, Oklahoma has given its Electoral College votes to the

Republican candidate(except 1964)

Throughout 1990s all of OK’s members in Congress (House &

Senate)

So, is Oklahoma a “Red” or a “Blue”

state?

Red…at a National levelBUT

Blue…at a state level
