Oklahoma election map with all-red counties goes viral: Is it accurate?

Oklahoma election map with all-red counties goes viral: Is it accurate?

play

Memes making the rounds on social media are celebrating Oklahoma as the “perfect state” after President-elect Donald Trump won a majority of votes in every county.

Even Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt reposted a map on Facebook showing 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 in this election?

Some Oklahoma counties had larger margins than others, but Trump won a majority of the vote in all 77 Oklahoma counties, making us an “all red state.” The terms “red state” and “blue state” refer to a state’s predominant alignment with the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively.

Cimmaron County is the reddest, with 91.98% of the vote for Trump. Oklahoma County is the least red, with 49% of the vote for Trump, which was still the majority since Harris received 48% of the vote.

District and county results reveal deeper insights into voter representation

Even though all counties tipped red, not all of Oklahoma's 1,984 counties had a majority that voted for Trump.

According to unofficial results from the Oklahoma State Election Board, Vice President Kamala Harris received 31.9% of the vote in Oklahoma

Of Oklahoma's 1,984 counties, about 260 counties cast a majority of votes for Harris.

There were a handful of districts across the state that actually had a tie vote between the two candidates and were therefore considered purple districts.

Is Oklahoma the only all-red state in this election?

No. In the 2024 presidential election, there was also a majority for Donald Trump in all districts in West Virginia. He won that state with 70% of the vote to Harris' 27.9%.
