May 2016

In brief, the incumbent State Senator Kyle Loveless gamed the Oklahoma electoral system to remove Mr. Vincent from the ballot. There's an article on Mr. Vincent's Facebook page that makes clear that should the Oklahoma State Supreme Court use logic and jurisprudence to adjudicate the case, Mr. Vincent will be on the ballot. I've tried several times to provide the link but it doesn't work quite right; here it is:

I think I'll make a small donation to his campaign.
