Voter turnout steady as Oklahomans narrow down candidates in key races

TULSA COUNTY, Okla. — Voters turned out on Tuesday as many were ready to do their civic duty.

In Sand Springs, the line moved quickly at one voter precinct on West Ave. Voters were in and out in about 30 minutes.

Several issues were on the minds of voters.

“I’m motivated to come out today because I have a young daughter,” said voter Alera Albert. “And just the things that have been going on in this country this year, I want to make my voice heard in Oklahoma and vote for some change in our legislature here and in DC.”

Other voters were motivated by school issues and civic pride.

“For our school members and I have two students in the public school system its very important we get them the proper funding and the proper leadership in place so they can have what they need,” said voter Lealyn Hall.

For voter Janice Bart, she’s said she’s happy her voice can be heard.

“I think what’s going in the country we ought step up and have our voice be heard and its our civic duty that’s what we are called to do,” Bart said.

Tulsa County election officials said they were worried about some voter confusion because of changes in polling locations but there were few if any problems.
