Democratic senatorial primary runoff election in Oklahoma

[solarstorm]

The first Democratic primary round for the U.S. Senate special election in Oklahoma took place on June 24. Constance N. Johnson received 43.84% of the vote, and Jim Rogers got 35.34%.

The runoff election is due to take place on August 26.

Johnson/Johnson. I don't know anything about Jim Rogers, since he doesn't even have a campaign site, so its pretty clear Johnson will win. She'll get destroyed in the general though.

Having no campaign is probably the best thing a Democrat can do in OK.

Jim Rodgers is a 80 year old perennial candidate who refuses to talk to the press, debate other candidates and say what his political views are. He actually was the Democratic nominee in 2010 for the Senate seat.

Anyway, Johnson/Johnson (sane).

Surprise, surprise! Jimmy Rogers has won the runoff:

Just kidding. Constance N. Johnson is the winner.

I made a map of the results. The results are very weird; there's really no pattering to them in western Oklahoma. Also, for example, Rogers wins all of northeast Oklahoma, but loses just Ottawa County. Then Johnson wins Latimer County in southeast Oklahoma while Rogers sweeps the region. Her win obviously came from the urban areas where she got 80%+ in Oklahoma County and 70%+ in both Tulsa and Cleveland counties.

Rogers won all the areas with higher black populations, while Rogers won most of the dixiecrat areas. Not too surprising.

And Rogers did about as well against State Senator Andrew Rice, and he still got nearly 40% against Inhofe, though I suspect Johnson is a little different.

Thank you, that's a pretty major mistake of mine
