Why Oklahoma has an ‘only citizens’ measure on the ballot

Summary

70% Informative

Oklahoma voters are weighing a ballot measure that would restrict voting “only” to U.S. citizens.

Supporters say the measure is protecting the state constitution, but critics say it will fuel falsehoods about noncitizen voting.

Noncitizens found guilty of voting illegally face deportation and loss of legal status.

Oklahoma is home to nearly 69,000 undocumented immigrants who contribute more than $200 million annually in federal, state and local taxes.

The measure is unnecessary and an “unfortunate sign” that state lawmakers will use the plight of undocumented people in the state to score further political points.

“A lot of the political rhetoric and conspiracy theories are behind this,” Brooks said.
