Oklahoma voter 2008

Abstract

In the November 4, 2008 election the Oklahoma voter was a woman. Differences between Oklahoma men and women in party affiliation, women are more Democrat, men more Republican; and voter turnout, women have a higher probability of voting than do men; result in Oklahoma women Democrats enjoying a numerical advantage in the electorate. This suggests a paradox as Oklahoma is consistently rated at the bottom among states in women's concerns and support for Democrats.
