OKPolicyCast 39: Bad Voter, Good Voter (with David Glover)

In recent years, Oklahoma has seen some of the lowest voter turnout in the nation. Turnout was well below the nation in the 2012 and 2016 presidential races. In our last governor's race in 2014, Oklahoma had the fewest votes cast for governor going back to 1978. But that wasn't always true in Oklahoma. For decades before the 2010s, Oklahomans voted at rates near or above the national average. Then in June elections this year, Oklahomans showed up at unprecedented levels for a primary race. Will that energy continue, or will it die back down now that marijuana is not longer on the ballot? To get at some of these questions about what influences voter turnout, I spoke to David Glover, the founder of the website badvoter.org . At badvoter.org, you can look up all the information you need to get registered to vote, vote by mail, or find your polling place.
