They did it. Over 200,000 Oklahomans signed and put SQ 836 on the ballot. That’s real people power and real democracy in action. This matters. Onward.

Just throwing this out there but the #SQ836 petition signatures in Oklahoma are due Monday and state offices may be closed for the weather. That would be ... a bummer. I hope the Secretary of State can work something out.
#SQ836 proposes an open primary system, in which all candidates would appear on one ballot along with the candidate’s party registration. The top two vote-getters would move on to a General Election. More here: www.voteyes836.com
#OK voters: if you are in the Stillwater area, volunteers are taking signatures at the following locations on a petition to put #SQ836 on the ballot:
*Thursday, 1/8, 4-6 p.m., OK Community Escrow and Title, 623 S. Lewis St.
*Friday, 1/9, 5-7 p.m., Stonecloud Brewing Company, 917 S. Husband St.
If you dont know, currently in OK you cant vote for a candidate whose party youre not affiliated with. So independent voters simply have no say in our state elections. Please, find a location near you and sign the petition. www.voteyes836.com #SQ836 #oklahoma #forthepeople
We’re in the final three weeks to sign the petition.
If you haven’t signed yet, this is your chance.
Come see me this weekend and grab a latte at one of OKC’s cutest bookstore.

The Oklahoma GOP is basically admitting they don’t trust Oklahomans to choose. If most people in the state truly lined up with Republican values, open primaries would not be a threat. Their candidates would win regardless.

The historical trend is clear: More states have moved from closed to open primaries than vice versa. Oklahoma would join states like California and Washington with top-two systems that have higher voter turnout. #ElectionReform #SQ836
South Dakota Republicans closed their previously semi-open primaries in 2021. Kentucky partially closed its open system in the 1990s. But these are exceptions - more states have actually moved toward greater voter access, not less. #OpenPrimaries #SQ836
In Tashjian v. Republican Party (1986), SCOTUS struck down closed primary laws that prevented parties from allowing independents to vote. The Court has consistently protected voter access when it doesn't force party association. #VoterRights #SQ836
Republicans supporting open primaries:
Tulsa Mayor Bynum
OKC Mayor Holt
Former Rep. Edwards
Labor Commissioner Osborn
This isn't partisan—it's pro-voter. #SQ836
"This challenge isn't about law—it's about control. Oklahomans are tired of decisions made in primaries where they can't even vote." -Kobos, Oklahoma United #SQ836
