Tulsa Election Key Precinct Returns Online

Results of key precincts in today's Tulsa mayoral race will be available tonight beginning about 7:15 at http://tulsagrad.ou.edu/csdc/a_CSDC_2008/election_live/live_blog.html, a special website at the OU Center for Studies in Democracy and Culture in Tulsa.

Former Mayor Rodger Randle spearheaded the project, which is a first in the online monitoring of election results.

"Published election returns on radio and television give only a total of returns from precincts that have physically delivered their results to the Tulsa County Election Board in downtown Tulsa," Randle said. "These early returns do not typically reflect city-wide voting patterns. Our analysis, however, will be focused on carefully selected precincts for which we have voting histories and demographic data, thus allowing us to report early trends in different areas of the city and to possibly project an early winner in the races for Mayor and for City Auditor (the only two city-wide posts on the ballot)."
