Nevertheless, Oklahoma County is so alarmingly trending blue as evidenced by voting for a Democrat for Congress in 2018 that Republicans will as soon as they can want to divide up Oklahoma County into more than one Congressional district to make sure it gets back the Republican 5th district seat it lost.

Two Oklahoma towns, Enid and Stillwater, could use some more people to add to their population to insure there will be at least 50,000 in the 2020 census to gain metro status. Enid already went a bit over 50,000 but has been losing some.

I lived in the Enid area (Vance AFB) in the early 80s, when it had a population of nearly 60,000. After the oilfield crash of 1984 it dropped below 50K, and has stayed that way ever since; a pilot training classmate who stayed behind for three years as a first-assignment instructor pilot bought a home with another pilot, for around $70K. He was lucky to escape at just over $60K. However, people are starting to discover that it's not a rural backwater but a revitalized small city with a growing downtown core. If they could only fix the potholes on Owen K. Garriott...

I think it is fair to say that there are huge swaths of Oklahoma City, Del City, Midwest City, Spencer that are blue anymore. However, almost all of the suburban parts of OKC as well as the actual suburban cities in Oklahoma county are very red.

I'd bet OKC and those places I mentioned are 50/50. Places like Moore, Norman, Yukon, Mustang, Yukon, Piedmont and Choctaw are probably 80/20 republican.

Yep, Oklahoma and West Virginia were the only two states where not a single county went for Clinton. Even Utah and Wyoming had some Clinton counties.

But 35% of Okies did not vote for Trump, so there must be some blue neighborhoods somewhere.

In Stillwater, the college neighborhoods voted blue in 2018 and voted yes for medical marijuana by a bigger margin than the other neighborhoods. I think the inner city neighborhoods of Tulsa and Oklahoma City vote blue.

Looks exactly like how I would have expected except how funny is it that the core of Edmond............... went for "Edmondson".

How much do the grass smoking patients contribute to OK?

If smoking medical marijuana makes them feel better than before from their chronic illnesses, then they have likely been contributing to society more than before, assuming they're not messing with the damnation of meth. Otherwise, grass smoking patients are doing a good job keeping medical marijuana dispensaries open and providing jobs for Oklahoma.
