Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was curious, as I know left, democratic, progressive people who live in OK. Here are some links related to gerrymandering in OK

https://publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/who-counts/in-high-barrier-oklahoma-gerrymandering-assures-gop-control/

https://gerrymander.princeton.edu/reforms/ok/

https://www.stateregstoday.com/politics/election-and-voting/gerrymandering-in-oklahoma

tl;dr - OK is gerrymandered AF. As the low effort / informationally sparse post above clearly demonstrates.

County boundaries aren't all that relevant to gerrymandering. They've been set basically since Oklahoma was a state, probably before that even.
