The chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, Aaron Brewer, has spoken about the importance of voting independent in the upcoming primary election. He explains that the party has been working hard to get independents to join them and has seen new Democratic voter registrations outpace Republicans by 2 to 1 in key counties over the last three months. Brewer also discusses the controversy surrounding the state's red tape process, which is creating a "red tape nightmare" where parents can run their local school district through constant appeals and complaints. He acknowledges that the state election board made a mistake by allowing independents to continue voting in their primary. However, he says they have worked hard to inform them of the decision their Democratic delegates made at their convention. Finally, he questions whether there will be a challenge in 2027 before independents will be allowed to vote in the election.
