Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
The Oklahoma November 2020 Ballot does Not List the Names of Candidates for Presidential Elector, the First Time ever that the Oklahoma Ballot has Omitted their Names.
A recent Law gives the State Board of Elections the Discretion to Remove the Names of the Electors.
The Board decided to Remove them, this year, because there are Six Presidential Candidates on the Ballot:
Republican - Donald Trump and Mike Pence
Democratic - Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Libertarian - Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen
Independent - Brock Pierce and Karla Ballard
Independent - Jade Simmons and Claudeliah Roze
Independent - Kanye West and Michelle Tidball
With Seven Presidential Elector Cndidates for each Candidate, putting the Electors on the Ballot would have added 42 Names, which takes a fair amount of Ballot space.
This year Oklahoma has more Presidential Candidates on its November Ballot than ever before.
