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 led an Oklahoma chapter of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa.
