79 Days to the Oklahoma Primary
Did you know?
The word “ballot” comes from ballotta—a small ball used in secret voting in medieval Venice. Before paper ballots, people literally cast their vote with an object. Same idea, different tools.
Voting has evolved.

The 2000 election exposed how inconsistent voting systems were across the country.
The Help America Vote Act (2002) helped modernize machines, improve accessibility, and set clearer standards.
The system changed.
What hasn’t?

In 1960, the presidential race was one of the closest in U.S. history, with
John F. Kennedy WINNING the popular vote by just 0.17%.
Kennedy only won by a margin of about 120,000 votes out of the 69 million cast.
Further proof that every vote counts!

The Motor Voter Act of 1993 required states to offer voter registration when people applied for or renewed a driver’s license.
A simple idea: make registration part of everyday life.

Native Americans were not recognized as U.S. citizens until 1924. Even then, many states still blocked them from voting.
That changed because Native activists and tribal leaders fought back and helped bring down those barriers by 1957.

The 1840 election ushered in a new era of campaign spectacle, with parades, slogans, and coordinated imagery, all unfolding over a 34‑day voting window.
Harrison won decisively, but his presidency lasted just 31 days, the briefest in U.S. history.

Before the 1890s, voting in the U.S. was public. Out loud or on brightly colored ballots, your choices were easy to spot.
The Australian ballot changed that and made privacy part of voting.

Everyone fits voting into their day a little differently. Some go in the morning, some on lunch, some after work, and some whenever they can make it happen.
What’s your voting window?

George Washington faced no real opposition in 1788–89. After two terms, he stepped down voluntarily, setting the standard that presidents should not stay in power indefinitely. That tradition held until FDR, when the 22nd Amendment made the two-term limit official.

Are you a Strategist: someone who researches ballots, takes notes, and studies every detail beforehand? Or are you a Freestyler: someone who has an idea of what they're voting for, but ultimately lets the vibes of the ballot guide them?

The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, lowered the voting age to 18 nationwide. During Vietnam, young people could be drafted at 18 but still couldn’t vote until 21. “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” helped make it the fastest-ratified amendment in U.S. history. #thanksforvotingok

50 years before the 19th Amendment, Wyoming led the world by granting women full political rights in 1869.
When Congress tried to force a repeal for statehood, Wyoming's reply was legendary: they’d rather stay out of the Union for 100 years than come in without the women.
