That could be said of a lot of state parties... in the past. The state parties have largely realigned to the national one’s Communist ideology. You may have a few legislators that buck the national trend, but they are few and far between.
Been another scandal related resignation in Oklahoma, State Senator Bryce Marlatt got gropey and kissy with a (female) uber driver.
His district (#27, #49 prior to 2002) is the panhandle plus adjacent counties, probably the most Republican district in the State. It did have a rat Senator who was ousted in 1996 by Marlatt’s predcesaor, Owen Laughlin.
The rat, Don Williams, was elected in 1988 according to Wikipedia which has historical lists of all members (wow!) of the OK leg since statehood, though it falsely claims he and his GOP predecessor, now Senior Federal Judge Timothy D. Leonard, represented Oklahoma City, when both in fact were from Beaver County. I can’t find anything on why a rat won this district in 1988 but I assume it was an open seat.

GOP numbers were pathetic even in landslide years, only in 1928 did we even come fairly close in the House.
A non scandal related special for CD-1 is also in the cards as Jim Bridenstine has been tapped for NASA director.
“GOP numbers were pathetic even in landslide years, only in 1928 did we even come fairly close in the House.”
Expecting 1920, House majority, huge one that evaporated in 1922.
