Journalist Wonder Why They’re Not Covering 3rd Parties

OK House Members Abusing Public Media Office

DNC Chairwoman Outlines Battle Plans

Most Oklahomans Support Judicial Elections
A recent poll of Oklahoma voters shows that the vast majority support elections for appellate justices and judges over the current commission based system. This poll comes in conjunction with a OK Sentate bill that would pose just such a question to voters in the 2014 election.
