Oklahoma

Racial Representation
Of Oklahoma's voting population of 1,215,413, 7.4% are black and 5.2% are Latino. There are currently no blacks or Latinos representing Oklahoma. Under the proposed super districting plan, racial minority voters supporting a candidate with crossover appeal could elect a candidate of choice in coalition with white voters.

Political Analysis
In the 2000 Presidential election, George W. Bush won Oklahoma with 60% of the vote over Al Gore's 38%. The state's Democratic partisanship is 40.1%. Despite making up two-fifths of the voting population, Democrats cannot elect a candidate of choice in any of the five districts and are only competitive in one. Under the proposed super districting plan, voters would likely elect three Republicans and two Democrats.
