Daily Oklahoman Editorial Says Poor Turnout Has a Silver Lining: Easier 2016 Ballot Access

The Daily Oklahoman, newspaper of Oklahoma City, has this editorial. The editorial notes Oklahoma’s low turnout last week, and says the silver lining is that it will now be somewhat easier for initiatives and new parties to get on the ballot.

The new party petition for 2014 was 66,744 signatures, but the 2016 requirement will be 41,242.

The independent presidential petition is not affected by the gubernatorial vote. For 2012 it was 43,890, and for 2016, it will be 40,047. Thanks to E. Zachary Knight for the link.
