Presidential elections typically have much higher turnouts than other statewide elections, but all of those interviewed at Hardesty said they were there “for everything.”

Zach Baker of Tulsa, voting in a presidential election for the first time, said, “I’m more concerned about the local elections and the state questions. The national stuff is more of a joke to me because of the Electoral College and gerrymandering.”

At the election board downtown, people were more inclined to say they were mostly interested in the presidential election.

A few said they had questions about ballot security.

“I wanted to see the officials for myself,” Gregory said. “You hear things might not be quite right.”

“They say they’re ‘flipping’ votes,” said Mark Jordan, who lives near Lake Keystone.

Asked how he would know if his vote had been changed, Jordan said, “That’s what I want to ask them inside.”

Just behind Jordan, Nathan Spillman seemed amused, and said he was “absolutely not” concerned with vote tampering.
