Voter Registration Update

Hi, I'm David McLean, the Oklahoma Republican Party state chairman, and I'd like to welcome you to my office today. I wanted to update you on some things that have been taking place here in the state of Oklahoma over the last nine months. The OKGOP, in conjunction with the district chairman, county chairman, activists across the state, our women's Republican clubs, and houses of worship, we have registered in excess of 91,000 new Republicans. I want you to think about that for just a moment. 91,000 new Republicans registered in the state of Oklahoma, giving us a 50 percent of the electorate. The Democrats are about 735,000 in registration right now. They've lost 40,000 off their registration this last year in 2020. Just think about that. 40,000 Democrats have changed registration in the state of Oklahoma because of the progressive, socialist, forthright ways that they keep trying to impose upon us at the local level. We started the voter registration push in January. We registered 91,000 Republicans. In contrast to that, the Democrats have only registered 1,210 new Democrats in the state of Oklahoma. That's a 7,495 percent difference in party. Now, let's look at what that calculates to in uncontested races across the state of Oklahoma. An uncontested race is where only one individual files for that seat. That is considered an uncontested race. In 2016, the Republicans had 21 uncontested races. 126 seats are up for election. 71 of those seats are uncontested in 2020. The uncontested seats compounded by our mandatory term limits and conservative values show that Oklahomans are truly able to live freely from government while sending Mr. or Mrs. Smith to the statehouse or Washington, D.C. in a manner of speaking. We are on the march and we are on the move. Our conservative values and our message is better than theirs. It's just as simple as that. Their forthright, socialist, progressive ways are catching up to them, or as President Barack Obama once said, the chickens have come home to roost.
