It looks like someone got their chair pulled out from underneath them!
Last night, GOP voters in south-central Oklahoma played a little prank on our old pal State Senator Paul Scott – the 15th ranked Derplahoman of the 2010s – by voting him out of office.
Here are details via The Duncan Banner:
After months of campaigning, the runoff for the State Sen. Dist. 43 Republican race is over as Jessica Garvin defeated incumbent Sen. Paul Scott with 51.56% of the vote.
Garvin started the night a little behind as early voting came in, but numbers from Stephens County started to roll in and other counties helped to give her first lead of the night...
Garvin, after spending the night with close family and friends and after hearing the final results, said she felt gratified with the results declaring her the winner of the Republican nomination.
As an Internet publisher who's always in search of good, clickable material to write about our dumb politicians, this news is bittersweet. Sure, Paul Scott is an immature right-wing nutjob and the less of those we have in office the better, but he's also been a master at generating content for us over the past couple of years!
