OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Latest on Oklahoma's primary runoff election (all times local):
UPDATE - 10 p.m.
A bruising Republican primary runoff in the race to become Oklahoma's next attorney general was too close to call Tuesday night.
With nearly all votes counted late Tuesday, unofficial results show Attorney General Mike Hunter leading Tulsa attorney Gentner Drummond by fewer than 300 votes.
Tuesday's primary runoff comes after a campaign that included a series of heated attack ads by both candidates.
Drummond criticized Hunter for using private attorneys in the state's lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and called him a career lobbyist.
Hunter called Drummond unfit and unethical.
The winner will face Democrat Mark Myles in November.
Hunter was appointed by Gov. Mary Fallin to replace former Attorney General Scott Pruitt when Pruitt was named administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Six more incumbent Republican state House members in Oklahoma lost their jobs Tuesday, and all six voted against a tax hike used to fund a teacher pay raise.
The tax hike on fuel, cigarettes and energy production was used to pay for an average teacher pay raise of $6,100 annually, the first salary increase in a decade. But 19 House Republicans voted against it, and many of them are paying for it at the ballot box.
Of the 19 House Republicans who voted against the tax hike, eight have now been defeated. Seven others decided not to run. Only four have advanced to the general election.
Incumbent representatives who lost Tuesday are: Reps. Bobby Cleveland, Jeff Coody, Travis Dunlap, George Faught, Mike Ritze and Tess Teague, according to complete but unofficial results.

Tulsa mortgage company owner and political newcomer Kevin Stitt has won the Republican nomination in the race to become Oklahoma's next governor.
