Oklahoma State Senator Lonnie Paxton (R-Tuttle), the leader of the State Senate, has introduced SB 656. It would change the composition of the State Election Board. Currently, it has three Republican and two Democratic members. The bill, in effect, would change that to three Republicans, one Democrat, and one individual who is not a member of either major party.

Existing law does not say that Republicans automatically get three seats, but in practice that is inevitable because of the selection process. Thanks to Chris Powell for this news. Here is the text of the bill.
