What time will the first media call the election?

[RecycleMichael]

This could be a close vote and it could take hours to get every precinct in the election board and officially counted. There have been some precinct problems and funny things happen on election days.

On the other hand. there will always be pressure on the media to compete with each other to be the first to call it.

In my experience, KRMG is the first to call most of the time and channel six has the fastest vote totals.

Will we know by 8pm?  9pm? 10pm? Later?

When we will know the results tonight and who will tell us first?

You can check the vote totals as they come in on the Channel 6 website.

Kotv & Kjrh both have vote totals.  KOTV's keep switching back between the two sides.  Wish they would show which precints are reporting.  But good job in reporting for both those websites.

[Chicken Little]

What a see-saw.  I predict they'll call it tomorrow.

[TheArtist]

at 50 percent of precincts reporting its

32,694 yes  to 32,438 no

no solid lead yet.

[pmcalk]

Maybe.  But it really makes a difference which precincts are reporting.  If we are waiting on MapleRidge & Riverview, the yes's have it; if we are waiting for Broken Arrow, I'd bet on the no's.

Damn, it's so close. I wish they showed which precincts have reported so that I can estimate the result.

Yea they need one of those "red" "green" maps like during the presidential election lol.

I was gonna call it if any side got about 2000 votes over the other, but geeze that may not happen.

KOTV, 57% reporting
Yes Votes: 38372
No Votes: 38339

Unbelievable.

I think North Tulsa is reporting right in now, as the No votes are shooting up while Yes is staying stagnant.

this just shows how divisive even "non-partisan" issues have got.  unfortunately you can buy a lot of votes with 1.3 million votes.

The no side doesn't stand a chance.

Guess I'll have to start shopping Amazon.com more.

I dont know, the no tax people seem to be doing quite well. Its been closer to me calling it for the no than for the yes.

[TheArtist]

I am calling it. 8:21, the nos have it.

I'd say maybe is winning.

KJRH says 55% reporting with 51% yes and 49% no
KTUL say that 54% of the voters said no. No other details.
FOX23 has 24% reporting with 52% No and 48% Yes

i want to know why KJRH stopped reporting results?

I'm going to stop watching them starting tonight.  I dont care how HAWT their babe anchors are.  As soon as the no vote started gaining they stopped reporting while the other stations continued.
