Oklahoma “R” Governor Runoff, Trump endorsed Mike Mazzie wins close race 50.27% of votes

Truth is, we have not done a good job of running good candidates this year. No real stars or superstars. Contrast to the Tea party year that saw Rubio and others elected.

Also on ballot is:

FEDERAL, STATE AND COUNTY
STATE QUESTION NO. 846 LEGISLATIVE REFERENDUM NO. 380

Oklahoma State Question 846, the Voter Identification Requirement Amendment is on the ballot in Oklahoma as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on August 25, 2026.

A "yes" vote supported creating a constitutional requirement for voters to provide proof of identity, as defined by the state legislature, when voting in any election in the state.

A "no" vote opposed creating a constitutional requirement for voters to provide proof of identity when voting in any election in the state, maintaining that the state's requirement for voter identification be in state law only

How would State Question 846 change voter ID policy?

See also: Text of measure
The constitutional amendment would require voters to provide proof of identity when voting by any method in any election in the state.[1] The amendment does not define what qualifies as proof of identity; it would require the state legislature to specify what would qualify as proof of identity.

As of 2026, proof of identity is defined in state law as a document issued by the U.S. government, the state of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized Native American tribe that includes a voter's name, photo, and an expiration date in the future. If the document is valid indefinitely or it was issued by the armed forces, an expiration date is not required.[2]

What is the current voter identification requirement in Oklahoma?

As of 2026, Oklahoma law requires that voters provide proof of identity to cast a vote at a polling place.[2] Voters casting a vote by mail or early in person with an absentee ballot must have their ballots notarized.[3] The notarization of a mail-in or other absentee ballot is sufficient proof of identity in Oklahoma.[4]

As of 2026, a voter in Oklahoma who goes to vote in person but forgets or otherwise does not provide proof of identity can cast a provisional ballot. A voter casting a provisional ballot must sign an affidavit under oath that the information they provide the election worker is correct. The affidavit must include the following information, matching what is included on the voter registration database:[2]

name;
address;
date of birth; and
driver's license number or the last four digits of their social security number, unless the voter was not required to include this information when they registered to vote.

Factoids: There is no automatic recount rule in Oklahoma. The requester must pay and a partial can be done.

IF the recount changes the result, the state refunds the requester the cost.

Mazzie will beat the D in Nov.

Sucks for him, I beat the D several times per week

Drummond = total slimeball, absolutely a RINO.

Mazzei = kind of a dork, not a great candidate, but is the better option.
