Oklahoma appears to be one of only two states in which fewer votes were cast for president in 2008 than in 2004. Oklahoma has finished its vote-counting, and the number of votes cast for president was 1,462,661. In 2004, the number had been 1,463,758. The other state is West Virginia.
Oklahoma did not permit voters to vote for president, unless they voted for Barack Obama or John McCain. Write-ins are not allowed, and Oklahoma was the only state with only those two candidates on the ballot.
The Oklahoma State Election Board says it does not know how many people cast ballots. Most states do calculate how many people actually voted, but Oklahoma is not one of those states. Because this data is missing, no one knows how many Oklahomans went to the polls and failed to vote for anyone for president.

“I think they already have Oklahoma firmly in hand. A poster on another forum said he went to vote at a Baptist Church in Oklahoma, and there were no booths. Only Christian Nationalist banners on the walls, and people watching while you did your ballot. He photoed the scene with his cell, and started contacting people. We will see what happens. “
I voted at a Baptist church in El Reno, Oklahoma and there were several voting booths and absolutely no banners of any kind.
I think the third hand information may be paranoid delusions instead of reporting on a real event.
THE VOTE ALSO DROPED BY 8.8% IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Robert K, Hi! It was real. I have the photo taken at the poll by the complainant.
Will Bates, thank you, I am fixing the post. However it wasn’t an 8.8% drop. There were 755,887 votes in W.V. in 2004 and so far about 710,000 this year.
Oklahoma purges its voter rolls of people who do not vote for four years. The State must know how many people voted or how could they purge the rolls?
