Don't let people tell you your vote doesn't matter. Here are the unofficial results from yesterday's runoff election in Oklahoma House District 20:
Wilk filed his campaign paperwork in October, Whaley in January.

They led the field of 5 candidates in the primary by 323 votes, but finished separated by just 16 votes.
Two more months of campaigning, thousands of more dollars spent... and they finish a mere **2** votes apart! pic.twitter.com/1S345p3zzz
Jonathan Wilk defeated Mike Whaley by two votes, after finishing behind him by sixteen votes in the primary.
I would expect Whaley to request a recount.
I do remember a time that a recount flipped a state house race. In 2006, Republican Todd Thomsen appeared to have lost the general election in HD25 to Democrat Darrell Nemecek by two votes. A recount tossed out four absentee ballots, giving Thomsen the victory by - two votes.
Regardless, every vote matters.
