The polls are now open in Oklahoma. It does appear that the voter turnout in the state will be heavy today.

It is estimated that 6,500 people cast ballots early at the Tulsa County Election Board during three days of early voting. The board was processing about 400 ballots per hour during the early voting period.

It's here - at last - the presidential election of 2012.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Members of an anti-death penalty group are calling on Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin to halt the execution of a convicted killer.

The Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty will hold a rally at the state Capitol on Monday seeking to spare the life of 56-year-old Garry Thomas Allen. Allen is scheduled to be executed Tuesday.

Allen was convicted and sentenced to die for the 1986 murder of his fiancée, Lawanna Gail Titsworth, in the parking lot of an Oklahoma City daycare.

As voters go to the polls tomorrow, there is at least one unknown factor. Tulsa’s Latino population has exploded since the last Presidential election. How will those folks vote?                 

Hispanic Community leader Ed Martinez feels most Latinos will line up with the Democrats. He says however, most are more conservative than they actually realize.

While most feel the presidential election in Oklahoma is a foregone conclusion, it is unknown what the Latino vote will mean in the First District Congressional race.
