This is a bigger deal than most people think.

HRC received 28% of the vote in Oklahoma. BO didn't carry a single county.

I live about 10 miles from Oklahoma and there has been a change in the interest in politics. I stay at Downstream Casino at least twice a month. There are 39 different Native American reservations and most of the NA's don't vote. This will probably change in 18 and 20, because the pipeline issue and Pocahontas nickname for Warren.

This will probably not change that all the congressional seats ard Senators are are held by republicans, but it may.

It may also change how NA's vote in other states like the Dakota's.

Places that don't have a majority or high population of NA's.

Broken Arrow is a Suberb of Tulsa. It has a population around 100,000 and is less than 6% NA.

The state is around 13% NA and the population of white's has dropped to 70%(probably less).

If the minority's vote it could change the political landscape in a very red state.
