nbcnews.app.link/Z7wRyWntuIb
Quick Glance: Enid, Oklahoma Residents Remove Council Member Associated with White Nationalism
- In Enid, a city in northwest Oklahoma, residents ousted a city council member with ties to white nationalism, as indicated by unofficial results released on Tuesday on the Oklahoma Election Board website.
- Following the reporting of results from all four precincts in Ward 1 in Enid, it was revealed that voters decided to remove 42-year-old Judd Blevins. Instead, Cheryl Patterson, a grandmother and longtime youth leader at a local church, was chosen to take his place.
