From newsok.com:
The 2010 election season that begins Tuesday likely will reshape Oklahoma politics for the next decade.
That’s because the Legislature elected this year will be redrawing the state’s legislative districts, based on the 2010 Census. And for the first time in state history, the legislative leadership redrawing those districts almost certainly will be Republican.
And it could be Republican for a long time.
Despite having 177,000 fewer registered voters, Republicans now outnumber Democrats 62-39 in the state House of Representatives and 28-22 in the state Senate.
