Hoskin wins, the former Cherokee Secretary of State becomes Chief! Hoskins won handily and NOT because his opponent was disqualified just days before. His opponent, Walkingstick, openly suggested that all Cherokee voters that do not live within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation (14 counties in NE Oklahoma) be disenfranchised. Walkingstick lost his place on the ballot because of an illegal PAC that was set up to raise money for his campaign claimed that they had the same rights as Citizens United. The Cherokee Supreme Court investigated and he LIED UNDER OATH when questioned. He was disqualified for it.
