Oklahoma: The reddest of the red

We live in a unique state. And that is the reason, Veritas Oklahoma exists. 

Veritas Oklahoma is an online platform for investigation and reporting of political and social issues in Oklahoma from a Hispanic point of view.

Oklahoma is considered the reddest of the red states in the nation. 

Being a presidential election year, Veritas Oklahoma will play a critical role informing the Hispanic community.

The election process in the Heartland is quite different from any other state. Indeed, Oklahoma is so conservative that the Democrats themselves had a primary election against President Barack Obama last March. And they were not just tokens; the White House resident lost in 12 counties.

But the historic beating was in 2008, when John McCain took the state’s 77 counties and Obama did not win a single one.

The point is that in November, Oklahoma will be back in the national arena, choosing from among two very different positions – assuming that Mitt Romney will be the GOP’s candidate. 

Oklahoma Veritas will be covering the entire process.

This is just the beginning. Thank you for reading Veritas Oklahoma,
