Oklahoma election results are disappointing, but not hopeless

Red Oklahoman voting populus shows a remarkably blue underbelly. This past Tuesday, Nov. 3, featured one of the most consequential midterm elections in recent history. During a time in which Republicans are the controlling party in the national government, Democrats flipped seven seats in the Senate (with the two currently uncalled races in Mississippi and Alaska also likely going Democrat) and 42 in the house, with 16 elections still uncalled. This “blue tsunami” can be seen in states like Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Maine and both Carolinas, all of which elected Democratic senators in districts that had previously been held by Republicans, with many also voting for Democratic governors over their incumbent Republican counterparts. Unfortunately for Oklahoma Democrats, it would seem upon first glance that this so-called “blue tsunami” is entirely absent from their state. However, this disappointment may be somewhat hasty.
