NEVER vote to retain a judge. EVER. I don't care if they are the greatest judge since sliced bread, all elected offices should be cycled EVERY time

Ask the chamber or the BAR...

[Oklahoma voters have never rejected a judge on a retention ballot and such elections have traditionally drawn little voter interest.

From my research these judges were all appointed by Brad Henry and tend to lean left. Sorry but I stand on the right side so I will vote against them all... Some research has also suggested these judges also had a hand in the ruling that forced SQ766 to be put on the ballet as a ruling said intangible property could be taxed. I could be very wrong on this as I've been researching a lot and judges just came up yesterday...

Please don't hold me to it, however I do know these were appointed by Brad, thus I vote them out.
