Election Day: Trump on the ballot, Bernie vs Biden vs Bloomberg on Dem side

Today is the Presidential Preferential Primary here in Oklahoma. Voters here will cast ballots, along with 14 other states, in a massive 'Super Tuesday' that may well decide the Democratic presidential primary.

President Trump will be on the primary ballot in 13 states, Oklahoma included, and the only question is will he break records for an incumbent president in a re-election primary.

Early voting turnout in Oklahoma was been high, with Democrats close to their 2016 levels and well above 2008.

Democrats and Independents can vote in the Democratic presidential primary, while Republicans have their own primary. 16 counties have nonpartisan issues on the ballot that all voters can weigh in on.

Republican Presidential Primary ballot:

• Donald J. Trump
• Joe Walsh
• Bob Ely
• Matthew John Matern
• Zoltan G. Istvan
• Roque Rocky De La Fuente

Democratic Presidential Primary ballot:

• Joseph R. Biden
• Bernie Sanders
• Michael R. Bloomberg
• Elizabeth Warren
• Tulsa Gabbard
• Deval Patrick
• Marianne Williamson
• Tom Steyer
• Amy Klobuchar
• Michael Bennett
• Julian Castro
• Andrew Yang
• Pete Buttigieg
• Cory Booker

Polling places are open until 7:00pm this evening. If you need assistance finding your voting location, use this tool from the Oklahoma State Election Board.

Three Democratic state legislators endorse different candidates

With the Oklahoma Presidential primary on Tuesday, several of the Democratic candidates have made some effort at reaching Oklahoma voters. Michael Bloomberg made another campaign stop in the OKC metro this week, and candidates like Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren have had their campaigns make swings through on the campaign trail.

Public endorsements by state legislators, however, seem to have been few and far between. Of the 33 Democrats in the legislature, I've only seen three of them endorse one of the fourteen Democrats on Oklahoma's presidential primary ballot:

Endorsements so far:

• Joe Biden: State Rep. Ajay Pittman
• Mike Bloomberg: State Sen. Kevin Matthews
• Bernie Sanders: State Rep. Jacob Rosecrants

OKGOP comments on Dems and Kendra Horn's impeachment vote

From the Oklahoma Republican Party:

Yesterday, Oklahoma's fifth District US Congresswoman Kendra Horn joined Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in a partisan vote to impeach President Donald Trump. In so doing, she rejected her own district and state, who overwhelmingly supported President Trump for the presidency. Instead of representing her home district, she went to Washington DC and developed a record as an obstructionist who allowed personal emotions and partisan allies direct decisions instead of following the US Constitution and the will of the people.

Elections have consequences. We now are seeing in plain sight what the narrow victory that Congresswoman Horn, funded by now Democrat candidate for President, New York's Michael Bloomberg did to our state with his $400,000 invested in her campaign last minute. We must raise funds to defeat Horn and stop out of state liberal interests from controlling our Oklahoma votes in the future.

Last evening, after her vote, she was caught on video avoiding cameras and refusing to answer questions on why she voted as she did. Why? Because she only answers to her out of state liberal friends. Not Oklahomans.

Congresswoman Horn must be defeated. We need American Patriots who will work together to #TakeBackthe5th for America, for our State, for our President, and for our nation to preserve our liberty.
