General Elections could bring more changes to the Oklahoma State Government | Election results

The general elections have not yet been won, and the limits of the mandate, the despair and the will of the people have already driven more than 40% of the House of Representatives.

The state Senate will see at least 12 new members – a quarter of the full complement, but half of the seats will be running this year.

The figures are slightly inflated – two members of the House appear in the Senate and a third before his death – but the general trend remains. With most and potentially all leaders changing in November, the Oklahoma government will be much different in January.

How much of a general election will determine the various congressional offices and seats, 19 senators and 72 members of the House.

Forty-two incumbents and eight full-fledged senators will be on the ballot, and there is a better chance that vacant seats will return in one direction or the other.

Republicans are favored, and in most cases strongly, in all statewide races and in all congressional districts. They will undoubtedly maintain a large majority in the House and the Senate.

What is unknown is if the changes made within the GOP will satisfy voters, or what will be the effect of ousting so many incumbents on general elections. The party has won legislative seats in every election cycle since 1992, but will have to overcome four special electoral defeats to maintain the chain this fall.

Democrats, meanwhile, are more loaded than they have been for a long time. They think they can face recent dissatisfaction with the direction of the state in some victories.

Here are some races to follow during the next two months:

Republican Kevin Stitt seems to be a favorite, considering his money and electoral base, and his ability to stand out from the unpopular administration of Fallin.

In this scenario, the task of Democrat Drew Edmondson is to put Stitt and the GOP on the defensive and maintain democratic enthusiasm.

Conservative Republican Dan Hicks' narrow victory over moderate Karen Gilbert features an interesting match with Democrat Melissa Provenzano.

It should be a safe Republican district, but Hicks is the kind of Republican that many GOP voters said no during the primaries. In Provenzano, he is confronted with the kind of educator and strong candidate who has knocked down some neighborhoods for Democrats in recent years.

The story and the numbers say that Hicks will win. But if Provenzano does it, all bets are disabled.

Two Republican Congressmen, Jim Inhofe and John Sullivan, began their career representing the district on Capitol Hill, but the Democrats have had it for the past decade. They nearly won during a special election in 2012, but were eventually lost when the results were invalidated.

This time, Cheryl Baber, a lawyer and GOP activist, opened her doors against former journalist Denise Brewer. Voter registration in the district continues to move forward, but still favors Republicans.

Most Republican gains over the past two decades have occurred in rural Oklahoma. A number of seats seem to be up for grabs this year.

It was not so long ago, Norman had a Democrat house district, a Republican house district and a neighborhood of 50-50 houses. Now he has three Democrats. The GOP would feel more like he was able to recover one or two of those places.

Senate District 32, which includes West Lawton and West Comanche County, is the last seat of Democrats outside the Tulsa and Oklahoma City subways. With Randy Bass's limited-time incumbent, Republicans are ready to capture him with state representative John Michael Montgomery.

The Democrats think they can do it with Jacobi Crowley, a former high school football coach and coach who would be the first black senator from anywhere else in the two largest urban areas.
