The May 23 Daily Oklahoman, Oklahoma’s largest daily newspaper, has this story about the failure of the legislature to pass any ballot access reform for minor parties. The story is undoubtably the result of a well-written press release by Oklahomans for Ballot Access Reform (OBAR). Thanks to Richard Prawdzienski for the news. As the story and the press release makes clear, Oklahoma has two-year legislative sessions, and the bill (which has already passed both Houses overwhelmingly) has good chances in 2010.
Good for the Daily Oklahoman. Bad for Oklahoma, though hope for 2010.
