For First Time in History, Oklahoma has More Registered Republicans than Democrats

According to this story, a tally of the number of registered voters in Oklahoma as of November 26, 2014, showed 806 more registered Republicans than Democrats. This marks the first time in Oklahoma history that the number of Republican registrants has exceeded the number of Democratic registrants.

The Oklahoma State Elections Board does not normally issue a registration tally more than once a month. The November 1, 2014 tally shows approximately 3,000 more Democrats than Republicans. As of December 11, the Board of Elections’ web page does not include any registration data later than November 1, 2014. Nor has the State Board of Elections issued any press release on this subject since the November 1 tally.

For First Time in History, Oklahoma has More Registered Republicans than Democrats — 3 Comments

  1. I can remember when it was remarkable that every county had at least one registered Republican for the first time, the last holdout was in a small county along the Red River, maybe Love or Jefferson. Now every county has at least several 100.

    As recently as 1990, Democrats had a 2:1 registration edge, and still have a plurality in 47 counties.

  2. How many voters are registered as Independent – if Oklahoma allows voters to register as such?
