In my pre-presidential primary post, I provide a detailed explanation of the delegate allocation process for Oklahoma.

This is not what democracy looks like. Sixteen Oklahoma jurisdictions -- Sapulpa, Pawhuska, other cities and towns, two school districts, a technology (vo-tech) district, and a county -- had propositions on the ballot today.
