The 2016 United States presidential election in Oklahoma was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. Oklahoma voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.

On March 1, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Oklahoma voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties' respective nominees for president. Registered members of each party could only vote in their party's primary, while independent voters could only vote in the Democratic primary.[2]

Oklahoma has been a Republican-leaning state since 1952, and a Republican stronghold since 1980, with no signs of weakness since 2000. Donald Trump won the election in Oklahoma with 65.3% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 28.9% of the vote.[3] Considered a safe Republican state, Oklahoma has voted Republican in fifteen of the last sixteen elections.[4] It was also one of two states where Trump won every county, the other being West Virginia. This also marked the fourth consecutive election in which the Republican candidate carried every county in the state.[4]

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party candidate, became the first third-party candidate to achieve ballot access in Oklahoma since 2000. He received 5.75% of the vote, the highest percentage for a third party in the state since Ross Perot in 1996. He was the only third-party candidate to successfully file for ballot access in Oklahoma.

Analysis

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump, carried Oklahoma with a victory margin of 36.39%.[original research?] While Trump improved over Mitt Romney's 2012 vote total and victory margin, his vote percentage of 65.3% was down from Romney's 66.8%, making 2016 the first time since 1992 the Republican's vote percentage decreased from the previous election.[original research?] Hillary Clinton's vote percentage of 28.9% is the worst for a Democratic candidate in Oklahoma since George McGovern's 24% in the 1972 election.[opinion] Clinton however, did make gains in heavily populated Oklahoma County, its surrounding suburban counties, and Tulsa County.[original research?] In Oklahoma County, Clinton turned a 16.66% advantage for Romney into a 10.5% advantage for Trump, while Trump was held below the 60% mark in Tulsa.[original research?] Gary Johnson's total was more than twice what was needed to preserve recognized status for the Libertarian Party in the state, meaning that in 2018 the LP will be the first alternative party on the ballot for a gubernatorial election since the Reform Party in 1998. [14]

With 65.32% of the popular vote, Oklahoma would prove to be Trump's third strongest state in the 2016 election after Wyoming and West Virginia.[15] The state would also prove to be Gary Johnson's fourth strongest state with 5.75% of the popular vote after New Mexico, North Dakota and Alaska.
