- A political science expert says an Oklahoma defeat defying expectations and history itself could be attributed to voter turnout and campaign energy. On Tuesday night, Democratic challenger Kendra Horn upset Republican incumbent Rep. Steve Russell for Oklahoma's 5th Congressional District.

When even deep red OK starts turning blue, you know the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico started 30 years ago by GHW Bush is well along.

Anchor babies come of voting age every day.

So now after lying they were “a different sort of Democrat, not like those nasty DC Democrats” to win by a few thousand votes how do they hold the seat in 2020 after voting as Nancy Peolosie’s rubber stamp for 2 years?

I don’t get it. Knowing what is at stake with each and every election, conservatives should treat participation like sex. i don’t know why we have to have voter enthusiasm. Being ruled by libtards should be all the enthusiasm we need.

Oklahoma residents felt he was safe. Voters should never consider anyone safe, regardless of even a prolonged history. All elections are important.

Republicans did not turn out. Russell got 43K fewer votes in 2018 (117K vs 160K) than in 2016. The democrat got 18K more in 2018 than 2016 (121K vs 103K).
