Actually, the margin in the prior post was the same as in yours, only missing the one-tenth decimal place. 0.9 percent vs. 1 percent isn't worth pointing out, so I think you thought that he got the R/D margin backwards when he didn't.

Thanks, the point of my prior post is that Oklahoma County demonstrated a mostly balanced political outcome in the 2020 election, with only a very small Republican edge. That holds whether we look at the percentages with or without a decimal place, and is very dissimilar to the balance of the state of Oklahoma. Even in the reddest of states, major urban areas contain a critical mass of citizens who prefer more progressive candidates and policies, and who vote accordingly.

And if the mayors of Oklahoma City who have promoted MAPS (the Metropolitan Area Projects, a series of infrastructure and service improvements financed by a sales tax that sunsets at the end of the project period, thus requiring City Hall to go before the voters again in order to get approval for another round; I think the current round is Round 4) are any example, those Republicans govern in a more centrist fashion than they might were they running, say, Ada or Muskogee.
