#Tulsa school board election: 4 of 18 precincts reporting, all east of the river (and thus incumbent Woolley's home turf). Woolley leads Buswell 366 to 67. Woolley, the Democrat, also dominated absentee&early voting, 160-29. results.okelections.us/OKER/?elecDate…

In #Bixby, only absentee/early votes are in. Incumbent Matt Dotson leads Julie Bentley, 79-42.

In #Tulsa and #Bixby, challengers are running on platforms supporting transparency and #ParentalRights and opposing obscene materials in school libraries. #okelections

Still waiting for three big west-of-the-river precincts to report, but Woolley's home precinct is also yet to come in. Woolley leads 865-359. Buswell won the two working-class precincts on the west end of Chas Page Blvd, but not downtown-adjacent neighborhoods. #Tulsa

It would be lovely if @OKelections results site had a visible permalink for each race, so I don't go all the way back to Achille when I'm refreshing the Tulsa results. results.okelections.us/OKER/?elecDate…

@OKelections Woolley won her home precinct, North Maple Ridge & Swan Lake, 412 to 80. Buswell won Red Fork/Carbondale/Webster HS precinct 132 -61 -- dominating, but a smaller percentage and a much lower turnout.

Buswell won his own precinct (720123), but only 100-72. Woolley won the old West Tulsa precinct, just across the river from downtown. Still waiting on the Gilcrease Hills precincts in Osage County, but those will likely go to Woolley. #Tulsa #okelections

In Berryhill, challenger Danny Bean has defeated incumbent Doc Geiger, 170-76.

All precincts have reported in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma's 4th largest city. Vice Mayor Christi Gillespie won a rematch against Mike Lester, the incumbent she beat in 2019. Challenger Joe Franco beat incumbent Scott Eudey. #baok #okelections

In Broken Arrow's at-large council seat, incumbent Johnnie Parks survived with 45% of the vote. William Vaughn improved in 2019 performance at 36%, but voters opposed to Parks split their votes with two other candidates once again. #baok #okelections

Broken Arrow councilor @MayorDebWimpee endorsed all three winning candidates. Adding this election to the 2021 results, the entire council is composed of her allies.

@MayorDebWimpee Watching for the lowest turnout in any Oklahoma election today. The Town of Ochelata in Washington Co. is a contender, with two propositions that each tied 5 votes for, 5 against. #okelections

The propositions were to decide whether the Town Clerk and Town Treasurer would become offices appointed by the Board of Trustees, rather than elected. Ochelata has 279 registered voters. #okelections

The Town of Avant in Osage County also voted whether to appoint Town Clerk and Treasurer, and the votes also were tied 8 to 8 for both propositions, but there are only 186 voters, so they managed 8.6% turnout! #okelections

Still waiting for results from several elections in Washita County, but I predict that Ochelata's 10 voters will be enough to win the lowest-turnout prize. They set a low bar for the rest of the state. #limbo #okelections

Two more requests for the @OKelections State Election Board: (1) Make it possible to look up sample ballots without needing the name and birthdate of a voter in that jurisdiction.

@OKelections Right now there is no simple way to see the ballot title for a proposition in another jurisdiction except to find a voter in that jurisdiction and plug his/her name and date of birth into the OK voter portal.

Request (2) for @OKelections: Put geographical name first in the list of entities, e.g. "Broken Arrow, City of," "Ochelata, Town of," so that all municipal elections in the results list sort by geographical name, as is the case for school districts.

With all #okelections precincts reporting, the Town of Ochelata wins the low-turnout prize for 10 voters. Biggest turnout was for a seat on the Indian Capital Tech Center -- 8,024 votes over 4 counties and parts of 4 more.

Correction: That was the biggest turnout in a local race. Oklahoma County Clerk special election was the biggest election in the state, and Republican Marissa Treat (wife of State Senate Pres. Pro Tem Greg Treat) won 52% to 48%, total vote of 42,410.

More upsets: Tracy Hanlon defeats incumbent Rusty Gunn for a seat on the Sand Springs school board, 289-220; Jerald Freeman defeats Skiatook city councilor Joyce Jech 98-77. #okelections
