Oklahoma voters kick out local official tied to white nationalist
groups
Judd Blevins loses Enid ward 1 council position months after he was
shown to have attended Charlottesville rally in 2017
Voters in Enid, Oklahoma, have decisively kicked out a city council
member with a history of ties to white nationalist groups from the
elected body almost a year after he was admitted.
Judd Blevins lost his position as Enid's ward 1 council member,
according to Oklahoma's state election board. The move comes months
after Blevin was shown to have attended a deadly neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 and was later shown to have led an
Oklahoma chapter of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa.
Blevins denied he was or ever had been a white supremacist, and said
he was motivated by "the same issues that got Donald Trump elected in
2016".
