Answer:
I believe it is B: Democrats.
Explanation: For most of the history of the state of Oklahoma, the Republican Party was relegated to minority status, with little electoral support or success in office holding. Since the 1960s the GOP (Grand Old Party) has been the party of choice for Oklahoma voters in presidential elections, and, in general, it is a more organized and centralized party when compared to the state Democrats. In the last two decades of the twentieth century the Republican Party underwent an unprecedented insurgence to become a competitive alternative to the Democratic Party and stood poised to become the dominant political force in the state at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
The geography of Oklahoma politics resembles old settlement patterns from the territorial period. Republican strength has traditionally centered in the old Oklahoma Territory, counties located in the northwestern half of the state. The party is historically weak to the southeast, in what was Indian Territory. In-migration and settlement in the old Indian Territory came mainly from Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi and carried with it Democratic traditions. Settlement to the north and west came from out of Kansas and brought the Jayhawker tradition of GOP politics. The culture of the state, relatively stable since the beginning of the twentieth century, perpetuated these partisan habits.
The early period of state politics was more competitive than the scope of history might indicate. For example, in 1908 Republicans carried almost 40 percent of seats in the legislature. Before the New Deal realignment Republicans won the Electoral College votes of Oklahoma twice in the 1920s, behind Harding and Hoover, and likewise carried a variety of congressional and statewide offices. The 1920 election elected the first GOP U.S. senator, John W. Harreld, and GOP candidates also carried five of nine Oklahoma congressional seats, as well as the corporation commissioner and the state supreme court. Eight years later the GOP again carried the corporation commission, the state supreme court, and three of eight congressional seats. In this era GOP fortunes in the legislature were tied to the presidential vote: in the two years that the GOP presidential candidate carried the state, Republicans also won more than half of the state House contests. In other presidential years the GOP won only a quarter of state House contests, and in the midterms the GOP average fell to less than one-fifth of seats. Clearly, state Republican fortunes were tied to the performance of the party in national elections, and the 1920s paint a picture of a potentially competitive two-party system emerging in the state.
