Voters in the northwestern Oklahoma city of Enid ousted a city council member with ties to white supremacy, according to unofficial results posted Tuesday on the Oklahoma State Board of Elections website.
In Enid’s 1st Ward, all four precincts have reported, and results show voters chose to recall 42-year-old Judd Blevins. Instead, they chose her grandmother, Cheryl Patterson, a longtime youth leader at a local church, to fill the seat.
Blevins, an Iraq war veteran, was narrowly elected to the seat last year despite his ties to white supremacist groups.
