I got curious, seems like this was rural Oklahoma so I would think them two Cops grew up with firearms.

Sequoya County, Oklahoma.

Mostly poor, rural, 70% White, 20% Indian, one in six families below the poverty line.

But Democrats outnumbering Republicans 52% to 32%?

There's a puzzle, didn't think there were enough Indians for that.
