This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about election results including the Republicans winning big across Oklahoma and the U.S., while two high profile ballot measures - State Question 777, also known as the Right to Farm, and State Question 779, the penny sales tax for education - failed.
The trio also discusses the reelection of Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel despite a recent audit showing fiscal mismanagement of his office, voter turnout in Oklahoma which was higher than 2014, but lower than 2008 or 2004 and charges filed against State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister over campaign fundraising issues.
