Oklahoma voters make eerily sane and sound decisions on election day…

9:40 AM EDT on April 5, 2023

In somewhat surprising news, voters in some of our state’s more civilized municipalities made some sane and sound decisions at the ballot box yesterday, rejecting some of the right-wing culture war fighters who were seeking public office, and instead settling on the more mainstream alternatives.

Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the more notable results:

• Darrell Davis narrowly elected to second term as Edmond Mayor

Davis sneaked out a win over challenger Brian Shellem by about 500 votes. Shellem’s claim to fame is that he fought hard against public health-focused protocols implemented in public schools during a global pandemic, while Davis is better known for standing up to Derplahomans who were mad about Pride Month.
