For as much as we like to complain about politics in Oklahoma, people just don't like to turn up to vote. Hell, the midterms last November saw the biggest bump since 1986, and only 56% of registered voters actually showed up.
It's a process that normally leaves me feeling (even more) cynical and angry about our local politics, because most of the people who show up to their local church on those fateful Tuesdays are old people who are ready to shuffle out of this world without understanding the place they're leaving behind.
