Ballot Access Drive Falls Short

A group seeking to make it easier for third party candidates to gain access to the Oklahoma ballot has come up short. Oklahomans for Ballot Access Reform turned in about 14,000 signatures on its petitions to the secretary of state on Monday. The group needed to get 74,117 valid signatures to get its proposal on a statewide ballot. Joni LeViness, OBAR chairwoman, said the group now hopes to persuade the Legislature to change the rules on ballot access.
