I went and dug out OK party registrations. In OK other parties can’t vote in primaries (closed) so you don’t have Dems rigging primaries.

As one can see the Red is growing and thats with huge population increases. This used to be a solid blue state.

was worried in OK because proportionately we had huge population increases over the last 10 years.
A year ago I went to the state data and looked at registered voters which they list by party.
I was worried about this in OK too, even being in a rural area. I still am, to a large degree.
If you're around the Edmond area, there is no doubt that there has been a more progressive shift there. Same with everywhere around Lawton (MIC influence), Norman and Stillwater (big college town progressivism influence). But the younger people moving to the greater OKC metro area for the job boom are definitely trending "Red" for sure, which is wouldn't have expected and for which i am thrilled.
TX, OTOH, already has hyper-prog blue strongholds like Harris County, all of Austin and parts of Dallas County. These are places where the progressive-minded can move and immediately assimilate without fear of being exposed to alternative perspectives. My fear is that we're slowly building up those "staunch blue areas" here in OK too. Stillwater is almost unrecognizable in overall ideology compared to what it was at the turn of the century. I'm there just often enough to have seen the changes developing over time.

Would explain why the ink cartridges I bought yesterday were so expensive.

(from wiki) Traded as
NYSE: HWP (1961–2002)[1]
NYSE: HPQ (2002–2015)
HPQ headquarters are still :
HP Inc.
1501 Page Mill Road
Palo Alto, CA 94304
United States
OP should correct his post.
side note: Even the current HPQ is not the 'old' HP of founders Bill & David. HP started as a test equipment manufacturer, and that was its main business for many years. I wrote reqs for many millions of $$$ of their test equipment. Our company had a very good relationship with them. But the original Test Equipment branch was split out as "Agilent" in 1999.

Don't ever consider Cali turning. Post apocalypse perhaps.
