I live in Osage Co, OK....
I had a guy come to my door running for District Attorney....He sounded very Conservative...but I asked him what Party he was...and he told me Dim. I said, I wouldn't vote for him. He said...he couldn't get elected as a Pubbie.
He lost. And now works for the Osage Tribe.
I just checked the XXXX County list of Superior Court Judges and... yep, the Honorable (except for lying about party affiliation) Judge XXXX J. XXXXX indeed won.
