Oklahoma Governor Signs Ballot Access Bill — 7 Comments

  1. It’s about freakin’ time. Libertarians and others have been lobbying for ballot access relief in Oklahoma for 35 plus years. I’m glad to see the Oklahoma legislature and Governor finally did the right thing here.

  2. Prohibition Party may have a plan to take control of the Independent label in that state and help build up a Independent Party of Louisiana. The party’s PNC will make that decision by the time of their convention, and any candidates who want to run for a state, congressional, legislative or legal office will have opportunity to do so.
    The Prohibition Party is willing to pay the one-time fee and have control over the Independent Label.
    Jim Hedges and Rick Knox have names of people who might agree to serve as the officers and presidential electors for the Prohibition ticket. Any one who lives in Louisiana who would like to participate in this effort should contact Jim Hedges at (717)485-5807 or Rick Knox at (708)994-3441.

  3. Well, it only took forty years after having the legs of political competition broken to be handed a crutch. Perhaps it will be easier in the coming years to get more reform passed.
