Oklahoma is known for having some of the most difficult ballot access laws in the U.S. Angelia O’Dell, chair of the Oklahoma Libertarian Party, also chairs Oklahomans for Ballot Access Reform (OBAR), a coalition trying to lower Oklahoma’s extremely high ballot access hurdles.
Below, Oklahoma City’s KFOR-TV covered several Libertarians at a recent OBAR protest at the state capitol.
The Libertarian blog is too kind to the Oklahoma law. It isn’t just “one of the worst.” For President, comparing the easier method to get on the ballot in all states with each other, Oklahoma is easily the worst in the US. It is the only state in which the easier method is worse than 2% of the last vote cast. Oklahoma’s easier method is 3% of the last presidential vote, which means it is 50% worse than the second-worst state.
