	Oklahoma
		Oklahoma's earliest advocate of initiative and referendum was Theodore L. Sturgis of Perry, who founded the territory's Direct Legislation League in 1899, eight years prior to statehood.
		Oklahoma's IandR provision, however, contained a quirk that was to cause initiative proponents endless headaches: it required that for any ballot measure to pass, it must be approved not just by a majority of the ballots cast on the proposition, but by a majority of all ballots cast in the election.
		Yet the election had been unfair for another reason as well: racist state officials, instead of printing "yes" and "no" on ballots, printed in small type: "For the amendment." Anyone wishing to vote against it was supposed to scratch out those words with a pencil.

	Ballot Access News -- December 1, 2006
		In November 2006, 5.0% of the vote for the top office on the ballot went to minor party and independent candidates.
		Also, in New Hampshire this year, there was a 3-way battle for the Libertarian Party’s gubernatorial nomination, and the bitterness from that fight was partly responsible for the party’s failure to obtain the needed 3,000 signatures for its nominee, Richard Kahn.
		Since members of all parties (qualified and unqualified alike) face a struggle to win their own party’s nomination, the state is not giving all nominees an "equal right to be elected", since the nominees of the Democratic and Republican Parties are automatically placed on the ballot, but the nominees of other parties are not.

	The Best Political Ad of 2006? - The Fix
		October 9, 2006 11:25 AM A buddy of mine took a class from Madeleine Albright at Georgetown U. She apparently made several comments to the effect that she wished that she and Clinton had done something substantial about North Korea instead of ignoring it in favor of the Middle East.
		October 9, 2006 12:02 PM 1994, Clinton stated, "This agreement will help achieve a vital and long-standing American objective: an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean peninsula." We now know the $4.6 billion bribe gave the Communists the two nuclear reactors they used to create their current arsenal.
		October 9, 2006 12:20 PM If you think Rs are going to stay home because a single congressman was found out to have sent salacious emails and forget all about the real danger the world is in with a few rougue regimes about to realize their nuke ambitions, you are guilty of wishful dreaming.
