All results won’t be known on election night, and that’s normal. State laws about receiving, processing and tabulating mail ballots, and close margins, play a role. If it takes some states longer to finish counting, it is not a sign of wrongdoing. https://t.co/atU0qlWdfe
ICYMI: With a dark money airing an ad urging Oklahomans *not* to retain some state Supreme Court justices, another dark money group is now running its own ad urging voters *to* retain them, and a former Republican Oklahoma AG wants voters to retain them too.

▪️The Oklahoma Public Health Lab is having to outsource tests as they don’t have the capability anymore to do them.
▪️Oklahoma sends tests to #Minnesota, #Nebraska, #Kansas
▪️This is fallout from the terrible decision to move this lab to Payne County 4 years ago with no input from #okleg
▪️This lab has been under federal investigation twice with major deficiencies noted. Newborn testing was botched.
▪️We invested $30 million into a new lab but forgot to build a vented room for lab workers to safely do BSL3 testing.
▪️This new lab is less functional and can do fewer types of tests than the old outdated lab in OKC. The tests circled in green are all tests that could be done at OPHL when located in OKC but cannot be done at our brand new lab. 👇
▪️Oklahoma taxpayers also paid for two CEO’s to manage the Oklahoma Pandemic Center in Payne County which apparently never existed?
