Oklahoma | State races -- No surprises, all propositions pass

Republican Corporation Commissioner Denise Bode has won re-election handily, leading 64-36 with about 90% of precincts in.

All supreme court and appeals judges on the non-partisan retention ballot have been approved for another term, with winning percentages ranging from 69 to 72 percent.

The nine propositions on the ballot are all passing. The lottery (705) is passing two to one, allowing Indian casino gaming (712) is passing with 60%, the marriage amendment (711) is passing three to one. The only two propositions that are anywhere near defeat are 707 and 713. 707, which allows local governments to borrow against future receipts from tax-increment finance (TIF) districts, is only passing 51-49, a margin of about 30,000 votes. 713, which would end the sales tax on tobacco and enact a new state tobacco tax, is passing 53-47 — a comfortable margin, but not overwhelming.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
