Wait---92% of Okies register as Democrats? Did you mean to say Republicans? I trust you, but that just seems intuitively weird since Obama carried zero counties here.

That statistic seemed odd to me, so I did a quick search and came up with this article: http://news.oeta.tv/election/pulse/2241-ivote2010.html

According to this official report, it's more like 48% D, 41% R, and 11% I.
