A state lawmaker and a pastor advanced to a runoff election for Oklahoma's open U.S. House seat after no candidate received a majority of votes in Tuesday's Republican primary.
The lawmaker received the most votes but fell short of the 50 percent threshold required to win outright. The pastor finished second and qualified for the runoff under state rules. The contest pits a candidate aligned with conservative positions against one described as holding more traditional views within the party.
Ballots will be cast again in four weeks to determine the Republican nominee. The winner will face the Democratic candidate in the November general election. Voter turnout and district demographics will factor into campaign strategies for both runoff contenders.
