OKLAHOMA CITY -- About one in three registered voters are expected to cast ballots in Oklahoma's primary election Tuesday. State Election Board Secretary Mike Clingman said that means 600,000 to 700,000 registered voters are expected to vote. Historically, Democrats are more likely to vote in a primary than Republicans, but Clingman said "that could be changing, particularly this time." According to the National Weather Service, a high of 95 degrees is predicted for the Tulsa area Tuesday. Republican Party Chairman Tom Daxon said this is the most significant election in state history for his party, and he expects a strong GOP turnout in the primary. In November's general election, Republicans are eyeing a possible takeover of the state Senate, which has been controlled by the Democrats since statehood. Read more in the Tulsa World...
