OKLAHOMA CITY —
Voter turnout was light early Tuesday after polls opened for the Oklahoma primary election in which several political heavyweights are fighting to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Brad Henry.
Henry, A Democrat, is term limited and cannot seek another term, and the absence of the popular governor has set off a series of political dominoes in the state.
Attorney General Drew Edmondson and Lt. Gov. Jari Askins each are giving up relatively safe seats to seek the Democratic nomination. On the Republican side, U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin will face state Sen. Randy Brogdon of Owasso and two lesser-funded candidates, Oklahoma City-area businessmen Roger Jackson and Robert Hubbard.
One northeast Oklahoma City precinct reported just three voters in the first hour after polls opened, and a second in the area saw about two dozen.
