OK Democrats Still Considering Suit Over OK-02 Race
Democratic Party officials mull 5th District suit
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Oklahoma Democratic Party leaders say they’re still undecided over whether to mount a legal challenge over Republican U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin’s victory in this month’s general election over the 81-year-old Democratic nominee who died two days before the general election.
Party Chairman Wallace Collins says no decision was made after a teleconference Thursday with party leaders about whether to proceed with a lawsuit. Collins says he plans to meet again with their attorney.
The Oklahoma Election Board voted last week to certify the results of this month’s election based on a recommendation from Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s office.
