OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
Oklahoma Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax says heavy
voter turnout is being reported across the state and voters leaving a
precinct in Moore reported waiting up to an hour to cast their ballots.
Polls opened at 7 a.m.
Tuesday for the general election and Ziriax says long lines were being
reported at precincts statewide as voters waited to cast their ballots.
Ziriax said it appears the
turnout will match the last presidential election when about 67% of
voters cast ballots in 2008. The state has just more than 2.1 million
registered voters.
In addition to the
presidential election - voters are deciding congressional races in each
of the state's five congressional districts, numerous state House and
Senate races and are voting on six state questions.
