Oklahoma: Enid Commissioner ousted over attendance at "Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally

Enid City Commissioner Judd Blevins has been ousted in the April 2 recall election, losing to Cheryl Patterson 829-561 (59.64% against). The turnout was much higher than in Blevins original election.

The recall was over claims that he was the state coordinator for a white nationalist group (Identity Evropa, which was renamed American Identity Movement) and whether he was at the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally. Blevins apologized at a November 21 meeting where the council tabled a censure motion and disavowed any racist group, though he then moved to a different approach, where he defended marching.
