Preface
Voting is the primary collective act of popular control over the polity exercised by individual citizens in a democracy. Free elections involving a wide range of ordinary citizens provide a method for selecting and legitimizing political leaders, shaping public policy, circulating control of government, and expressing political emotions. The ballot box is thus an alternative to chaos, revolution, and domination by the few; elections are indeed the lifeblood of government by the people. Although popular democracy assumes certain levels of knowledge and ability on the part of individual voters, many studies have documented a growing indifference and unfamiliarity with electoral machinery. This relative ignorance often hampers the operation of popular government, deprives citizens of individual rights, and breeds irresponsibility, cynicism, and apathy. In addition to information which voters are obliged to gather about political parties, candidates, and issues, we think it is essential for them to understand the operation of the electoral system, the environment within which it operates, the response of citizens to it, and its historical evolution. While national political battles often receive primary attention, it is equally important for voters to be informed about state government and politics which touch their lives so directly. It is this basic citizenship task to which this book is dedicated.
We hope many interested Oklahoma citizens will be able to sharpen their understanding and improve their evaluation of state electoral politics as a result of the analysis and discussion that follows. But we believe the book will also appeal to a variety of students, elected officials, prospective candidates, political organizations, partisan activists, and campaign workers. Unlike research in several other states, treatments of Oklahoma

politics have been either piecemeal or now considerably out-dated. Only the last decade has witnessed the appearance of systematic voting accounts beyond a single election. While our efforts build upon earlier endeavors, the final product is markedly more comprehensive and analytical. These earlier influential works include compendiums of voting data accompanied by summary essays published by the Bureau of Government Research at the University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma Votes: 19071962 (1964) by Oliver Benson, Harry Holloway, George Mauer, Joseph Pray, and Wayne Young examined voting in presidential, gubernatorial, and senatorial contests. This volume was later accompanied by Oklahoma Votes for Congress: 19071964 (1965) written under the auspices of Oliver Benson with assistance from Alan Durbin and Asoke Basu. In 1970, two of the present authors (Kirkpatrick and Morgan) substantially revised, expanded, and updated these earlier efforts in two monographs on Oklahoma Voting Patterns, one subtitled Presidential, Senatorial, and Gubernatorial Elections, and the other focusing on Congressional Elections (with Larry G. Edwards).
Many of these efforts reflected a need for the orderly compilation of data previously hampered by either a lack of published records or a general absence of systematic efforts on the part of election agencies. But several factors subsequently modified our thoughts about what is needed. A variety of organized raw data sources now contain information on Oklahoma elections, These include more recent comprehensive reports of the State Election Board, data in the America Votes series, statistics published by Congressional Quarterly, and computer-retrievable archives of voting for major offices available through the auspices of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. Various statistical compilations are also available from the Bureau of Government Research. Therefore, while this book contains an appendix of summary information, we have not reprinted all county-level voting data in the present volume.
Most important, we perceived the need for a more comprehensive treatment of voting in Oklahomaone involving various types of elections and different forms of data. Of course, any well designed analysis of accurate data is a substantial improvement over the more sensational journalism and partisan rhetoric that so frequently accompanies political contests. We subsequently became involved in a variety of electoral projects which provided more extensive. analysis and greater familiarity with the substance of elections and voting. We now share the advantage of having not only aggregate data, but individual attitudinal responses collected by one of the authors (Kielhorn) through systematic statewide samples of registered voters. The book therefore combines data at two levels of analysis, both micro and macro.
