If there is one race to illustrate why a runoff exists in some states, it’s the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate special election in Oklahoma.

Ten GOP candidates are vying to replace 87-year-old Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe, who took office in 1994 and was elected to a fifth term in 2020 before announcing in February 2022 that he would retire, effective January 3, 2023.
