Back in 2015, the Ten Commandments Monument was removed from the Oklahoma State Capitol after the courts ruled it violated a section of the Oklahoma constitution that prohibits public money from being spent for religious purposes.
The next year, Oklahoma lawmakers put a state question on the ballot that would have removed that pesky section from the constitution, clearing the way for the monument to be rebuilt at the capitol. Even though Oklahoma is a devout theocracy located in the heart of the heartland, the proposal failed by a 15% margin.
