Zero sympathy for the only state that went 100% to Trump. You literally asked for this, pray to your fucking orange god to save you
OK had 66.2% vote for Trump. Idaho, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming were all higher than that.
So what do you mean by “only state” and “100%”? I’m confused by your comment.
I'm guessing they mean 100% of counties in Oklahoma went to Trump.
Ah, ok. Looks like West Virginia also had 100% of counties go for Trump, so “only” is still not right, but at least that makes more sense.
The republicans carried every county
Here comes the leopards for those tasty faces.
Bullshit me and wife voted for Harris. Not all of Oklahomans are dumbfucks. I hope they all lose their social security starting with trump lover neighbor across the street.
A lot of people don't get how to parse statistical data, 67% of all votes isn't out of 100% of people is out of voter turn out, voter turn out isn't a % if all people is a % of registered voters, registered voters is out of eligible voters. So take 100% of the pop, minus those that can't legally vote, minus unregistered voters, minus registered who didn't vote, Then 67% of that number, which is going to be no where near 67% of the population at all.
So they apparently had 53% turn out of 2.4 million register voters, which is 1.27 million, out of a state population total of 4 million, which is 31% of the total pop. So 850,900 people voted for Trump a whopping 21.27% of the states total pop.
So not ALL by any stretch, and they had the worst registered voter turn out in the nation according to the reporting I'm seeing.
Also for no reason 18% of registered voters is 432,000 people, 10.57% of total pop, that's the number of people you'd have to swing to have flipped the state
