Today is primary election day across Oklahoma – a momentous occasion throughout the land where most people go about their normal routines, doing boring stuff like waiting in the Braum's drive-thru, while a few hundred thousand others get out to decide our state’s murky future.
That future includes statewide races for governor, lieutenant governor, and some offices you probably didn’t know existed, along with legislative grudge matches, obscure county power struggles and one very important state question – SQ 832.
Anyway, I know participating in the primary election can seem like a fruitless endeavor in this Republican-supermajority-controlled state, but this time around, there’s actually a pretty good reason to put on pants and participate in society.
