It’s official: Oklahoma recorded the nation’s lowest age-eligible voter turnout in the November general election – a Code Red warning that our body politic is on life support, if not in a death spiral.
Can anything be done to restore the patient to health?
One citizens’ group, Oklahoma United, thinks it has identified the antidote: open primaries in which all voters [regardless of party affiliation] cast judgment on all candidates [Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, independents] in a single primary.
