It was one race under unusual circumstances, but Democrat J.J. Dossett’s victory in last week’s state Senate District 34 special election hit Oklahoma Republicans like a bucket of ice water. And it got Oklahoma Democrats thinking maybe they are a factor in state politics again. Dossett, a 31-year-old teacher and coach, got 56 percent of the vote in a district that in recent years has voted 65 percent and 70 percent Republican. He received almost 2,200 votes, but only 1,300 Democrats (and 189 independents) cast ballots, meaning at least 700 Republicans crossed party lines. newsok.com/special-elections-reveal-state-republican-vulnerabilities/article/5473293?articleBar=1
