Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In addition to voting for favorite candidates, Oklahomans faced eight ballot questions when they went to the polls November 2, 2004. Four of these questions can be considered moral issues. They include the establishment of a lottery, a tax increase on cigarettes, a gay marriage ban, and the institution of gaming machines in tribal casinos and racetracks. Some of these issues (state lottery and gaming) have faced stiff opposition from religious organizations and have been defeated in the past. This paper looks at a number of factors and assesses their electoral impact on the referenda. Specifically, the analysis examines religious affiliation (Catholics, Evangelical and Mainstream Protestants) in the 77 Oklahoma counties along with other socioeconomic and geographic data. The study hypothesizes that counties with larger populations of Evangelical Protestants will tend to vote against the gaming issues while voting for the traditional marriage question.
