Oklahoma Legislature Passes Bill Moving Petition Deadline to March 1

On May 3, the Oklahoma House again passed HB 1615, so it is now through the legislature. This is the bill that moves the primary (for office other than President) from July to June. It also moves the petition deadline for new parties from May 1 to March 1.

As has been reported already, there are 15 court precedents that petition deadlines for new parties cannot be this early, and no contrary published opinions. It is not known if the Oklahoma legislators who passed this bill were aware of these court precedents. Each legislator received an e-mail documenting this several weeks ago, but chances are very few legislators read the e-mail. One legislator did respond to the e-mail with the comment that “we pass unconstitutional laws all the time.” Thanks to Tony Roza for the news about the bill passing.
