Change.org Petition is Circulating Asking Oklahoma To Improve Presidential Ballot Access

Ariana Eakle, an Oklahoma activist, has initiated a change.org on-line petition asking that Oklahoma ballot access laws be improved, so that Oklahoma voters in future have more choices for president in the general election than just the Democratic and Republican nominees. Anyone is encouraged to sign, regardless of residence. See here. UPDATE: here is a facebook page for the petition.

Oklahoma voters have now endured three presidential elections in a row with no ability to vote for president unless they vote for either of the two major party nominees. No other state has a record that bad, since the period 1956 through 1964. And even in the period 1956-1964, the only other states that were equally bad, to the extent of even denying write-in space on the ballot, were Nevada, Ohio, and South Dakota. The laws of all three states are far better now than they were in 1956-1964, but the Oklahoma laws are much worse now than they were then.

  1. Hi, I’m originally from Texas, a moved here last year due to military. I would really like to have the choice to vote for whichever presidential candidate I want. It’s my right, and Oklahoma shouldn’t take that away from me.
