Closed Primaries in Oklahoma
Topline: Independents are the fastest growing group of voters in the Oklahoma, but they can't vote in primary elections - the elections that matter.
Oklahoma is one of only 14 states that has completely closed primaries. But independents are on the rise in the state, and they're taking action. Margaret Kobos of Oklahoma United and Open Primaries' own Jeremy Gruber joined News on 6 to discuss the issue.
"We want all independents to be able to vote equally as a party member. You shouldn't have to be forced to join a party in order to exercise your constitutional right to vote in elections that you're funding.”
