Oklahoma State Senator Randy Brogdon (R-Owasso) and Representative Marian Cooksey (R-Edmond) say they will introduce a bill soon to ease ballot access for new and minor parties. Bills in Oklahoma must be introduced by January 18, 2007, even though the legislature doesn’t convene until February.

If you live in a state with bad ballot access laws, now is the time to find a sponsor for a bill to improve them. In a few weeks, in many states, it will be too late.
