Oklahomans Cast Votes In Record Numbers In Primaries

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoman had record voter turnout in Tuesday's primary. The state election board reports just over 795,000 people came out to vote.

More than 335,000 Democrats voted. That's three times as many in 2012, but less than 2008.

And nearly 460,000 Republicans cast a ballot. That's a new record for a party in a presidential primary.

Oklahoma voters bucked the national trend for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in presidential primaries, handing victories instead to their challengers on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
