President-elect Donald Trump is more popular than ever in Oklahoma. According to an Oklahoma Watch analysis of state election data, Trump boosted his margin of victory in 63 of 77 counties compared to 2020. The gains include the state’s three most populated counties and a large swath of southeastern Oklahoma that conservative Democrats once dominated. Trump also received nearly 15,000 more votes than he did in 2020. While voter turnout dipped about 5%, Oklahoma has added 180,000 registered voters since January 2021. Just three counties — Canadian, Ellis and Grant — saw their margins for Trump drop by 1% or greater compared to 2020. Canadian County has experienced a suburban growth boom and with it a boost in registered Democratic and Independent voters. Ellis and Grant Counties saw a notable dip in voter turnout. Oklahoma elected officials lauded the results as proof that voters are satisfied with Republican leadership. “Our candidates ran phenomenal campaigns and voters locally and nationally made it clear they support our conservative vision,” House Speaker-elect Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, said in a written statement. “Our caucus is ready to work with President Trump, our Congressional delegation, the state Senate and the Governor to continue building on the great momentum we have behind us in Oklahoma."Keaton Ross covers democracy and criminal justice for Oklahoma Watch.
