Quote of the Day 6/10/2015

“We took some major steps this year in addressing Oklahoma’s civic participation crisis. First, we recognized that we have a problem. Second, we passed some important reforms, including online registration and local election consolidation. Having said that, there is much more to do, and I will continue to push the issue. Improving voter turnout is going to be a long process, and the responsibility is by no means limited to policymakers. We all have to take ownership.”

-Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, who sponsored nine measures to improve voter turnout and participation in Oklahoma, two of which were approved (source).
