The thing about Oklahoma is that every single country voted Republican in the last THREE presidential elections. It's not so much a problem of gerrymandering as it is a case of Oklahoma becoming more ideologically extreme thanks to the echo-chamber feedback loop brought on by Fox News and right-wing radio.
Now, this is me just throwing something out there, could be true or could be totally false, but I think the very concept of what it means to be a Democrat and to vote for Democratic politicians has very radically changed among conservatives, to the point where even a conservative Democrat would struggle mightily to win simply by virtue of having a "D" after their name.
