Every Vote Counts. Some Don’t Think That’
Tulsans Tell 2 News If They'll Vote
Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rates 2 News Oklahoma as right-leaning, so take coverage with a grain of salt.
At a time when the country is more divided than ever, it's more important than ever to make sure that every vote counts. But with voter suppression laws being passed in states across the country, it's becoming increasingly difficult for people to exercise their right to vote.
In Oklahoma, a new law (SB660) was passed in 2021 that makes it harder for people to register to vote and to cast their ballots. This was coupled by a similar new law (HB1934) passed in 2022. The laws have been criticized by voting rights advocates, who say they will disproportionately impact communities of color.
2 News Oklahoma asked Tulsans if they plan on voting in the upcoming election, and why or why not. Here's what they had to say:
- "I'm definitely going to vote," said one woman. "It's my right, and it's important to make my voice heard."
- "I'm not sure if I'm going to vote," said another man. "I don't feel like my vote really matters."
- "I'm going to vote because I want to make a difference," said a third woman.
The upcoming election is one of the most important in recent history. The outcome of the election will have a major impact on the future of our country. It's important to make sure that every vote counts, and that everyone has the opportunity to make their voice heard.
If you're not sure if you're registered to vote, you can check your registration status online at the Oklahoma State Election Board website. If you're not registered, you can register to vote at your county election board office.
Early voting begins on October 24th, and Election Day is November 8th. Make sure your voice is heard and vote!
