Oklahoma election map meme goes viral: What's an all-red state? Is it an accurate picture?
Memes making the rounds on social media are celebrating Oklahoma as the "perfect state" after President-elect Donald Trump received the majority of votes in every county.
Even Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt reposted a map on Facebook that shows the Sooner State completely filled with red.
The image is motivating for Republicans and Democrats alike, but does the map accurately reflect how Oklahoma voted? Were there other states with similar all-Trump results?
How red did Oklahoma vote this election?
Some Oklahoma counties saw a wider margin than others, but Trump did win the majority of votes in all of Oklahoma's 77 counties, which makes us an "all-red state." The terms "red state" and "blue state" denote a state's predominate alignment with the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively.
Cimmaron County is the reddest, with 91.98% votes for Trump. Oklahoma County is the least red, with 49% votes for Trump, which was still the majority as Harris saw 48% of votes.
Precinct, county results show deeper looks at voter representation
Though all counties may have tipped red, not all of Oklahoma's 1,984 precincts saw a majority vote for Trump.
According to unofficial results from the Oklahoma State Election Board, Vice President Kamala Harris received 31.9% of the vote in Oklahoma
Out of Oklahoma's 1,984 precincts, roughly 260 precincts cast the majority of votes for Harris.
There were a handful of precincts throughout the state that actually garnered a tie vote among the two candidates and thus deemed a purple precinct.
Is Oklahoma the only all-red state this election?
No. In the 2024 presidential election, West Virginia also saw a majority for Donald Trump in all counties. He won that state by 70% to Harris' 27.9% of the vote.
