In an unprecedented move that defies the laws of time, logic, and probably several election statutes, The Lost Ogle is officially declaring Donald J. Trump the winner of Oklahoma’s presidential election.
Yep, you heard it here first.
At 11:56 AM on Tuesday, November 5th—a full seven hours before polls officially close—we’re calling Oklahoma and its seven electoral votes for Trump.
Since calling an election hours before polls have closed is generally frowned upon in media circles, I’ll admit this isn’t a decision we take lightly. It comes only after hours of rigorous exit poll analysis, monitoring late-breaking trends, and examining sophisticated models built on key precinct data.
Oh, and we also took a quick glance at 60 years of Oklahoma presidential election results and history.
I want to be clear – just because Trump has already won Oklahoma doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go vote.
Sure, the presidential election is already decided, but you can vote in other important down-ballot races that the Republican supermajority party in this state will likely win.
You can also vote for state questions, and to retain those “liberal” Supreme Court justices that the far-right-wing theocrats are trying to force out of office.
So if you have some free time this afternoon, go to your local voting place, wait in line, fill in the right boxes, and get your little sticker. And if you’re really adventurous, do it twice.
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
