Oklahoma Delegation ‘Greatly Concerned’ With New Voting Rights Measure In the wake of the controversial 2020 presidential election, lawmakers in dozens of states, mostly red states like Oklahoma, are taking steps to try to prevent a recurrence of what some still insist was significant voter fraud, despite a lack of evidence. Lawmakers in Washington, however, could get in their way. Last week, House Democrats used their slim majority to pass H.R. 1, the so-called ‘For the People Act’, a sweeping election reform measure that would expand voting access and lessen the influence of dark money. Among other things, the bill would require elections officials in each state to establish automatic voter registration systems and would guarantee same-day registration at both early voting sites and at precincts on Election Day.
