Henry Swept 74 Counties, Istook's Home Base

Governor Brad "Landslide" Henry, enroute to an impressive statewide sweep of opponent Ernest Istook, carried all but three of the state's 77 counties in Tuesday's voting. Henry bested Istook in the 5th District Istook has represented, and it wasn't even close.

Henry lost only in Beaver, Cimarron and Texas counties, the three Panhandle counties, winning 67 percent of the vote statewide.

Henry carried the three counties (Oklahoma, Pottawatomie, Seminole) in the 5th Congressional District, which Istook represented for 14 years. Henry is from Shawnee in Pottawatomie County.

Henry smashed Istook in Oklahoma County with 63 percent of the vote and in Tulsa County with 61 percent.
