18 June 2006Still lotsa blue around hereMike in Little Axe turns up a Tulsa World map of the state's Senate districts color-coded by voter-registration totals. (Actual voter performance and turnout, of course, cannot be predicted; the straight-party ballot, while still allowed under state law, is pretty much ignored.) There aren't any real surprises here, unless you thought that maybe they could do the whole map in red, in which case you were quite wrong. (Disclosure: I live in District 40, which was close to evenly balanced in recent years, and which the World now reports as "Republican plurality." Through most of the 1990s I lived in District 48.) |
