... - Oklahoma Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax disputes that, saying the Democratic Party never followed the required process.
- He told FOX23 the board sent a courtesy reminder to all three recognized parties on Oct. 30, telling them they needed to submit official notice between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30 if they wanted to allow independents to vote
- “The very act of them not sending notice means it was really their decision and their responsibility to not allow independents to vote in their primaries,” Ziriax said.
