A Republican winning an Oklahoma special election on Tuesday night in a deep red area by just five points has sparked concerns about the GOP's performance in November's races.
Republican Erick Harris won House District 39's special election by 261 votes, beating Democrat Regan Raff into second place (50 percent to 45 percent). The election was triggered following former state Representative Ryan Martinez's resignation last September after pleading guilty to a felony offense of being in physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated.
While the result is not likely not an indication of the outcome of the 2024 presidential election in Oklahoma—where Donald Trump beat Joe Biden by 33 points in 2020—Harris' marginal victory in the Edmond district which Trump won by 26 points in the last election has raised concerns.

Depends. Polls can be gamed to get out the vote too.
There are plenty of games afoot.
One would have to a deep dive on the ‘Republican’ that won.
Is he a legit Republican?
Is he the same as Lankford and Mullin, both very fraudlent?
“This is supposed to drive you into DeSantis or Nikki’s arms.”
I was curious about your use of his real name. Now I understand. You got the memo.
Asked if he would be using the nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”: “I said that name is officially retired,” he said to loud cheers.

The dems and their aligned groups are much more aggressive on absentee ballot requesting and ballot harvesting techniques than our side. This is how they win off season elections.
It is very clear that the underperformance shows that Americans prefer this administration’s policies to the, ... the policies of, ... Donald Tusk, and that our job growth in the last, uh, seven years is, uh, ... and that, well, you know what it is.
I don’t agree- 2022 was a disaster for the Republicans who under performed, Nov 2023 was a disaster for Republicans and last night was a disaster for Republicans around the country with special elections.
Yet somehow Rona hasn’t been fired yet. Its almost as though they enjoy taking it up the you know what.
Ukraine over our own border doesn’t sell well.
Is she officially out yet?? I’ve not read that she’s gone, and we keep losing!!!

Edmond is leaning Dim...fwiw.
Lots of out of state, (California/Nevada) licence plates in Edmond these days...Niki Haley signs in yards as well.
When Oklahoma goes down the tubes...it’s over. This is the last refuge for true conservatives...end of the road.

I think the GOP is in danger of a serious collapse at the congressional level, almost as bad as the 1993 Federal election in Canada where the Progressive Conservative party lost 154 of 156 seats.
The GOP has been running a con on its voters for the longest time, and the jig is almost up.
Trump needs huge majorities in both houses of Congress to get anything done, and NOTHING has been done to make that happen.
Sample size of 5,000 (261/0.05). Huge margin of error.
We shall see..............
I hope that's the explanation.
Bingo.
And I see you've already been accused of blasphemy.
Lankford and Mullen haven’t helped themselves lately.
Lankford needs to get a job with Disney.
Our governor is an idiot.
