By Kayla BranchStaff writerkbranch@oklahoman.comThe Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in favor of an appeal from the State Question 805 campaign, requiring the Secretary of State’s office to accept the group’s initiative petition signatures despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Secretary of State Michael Rogers must accept the roughly 260,000 signatures in the next 10 days and begin the counting process so the state question can make it onto a 2020 ballot. State Question 805 would prohibit the use of prior felony convictions to enhance sentences for nonviolent crimes. “This is a victory for the 260,000 Oklahomans who supported Yes on 805 with their signature and expect to see it on a ballot in 2020," said Sarah Edwards, President of the Yes on 805 group, in a press release.Read more on NewsOK.com

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley refused to pull over for speeding and went home and called the police chief to quash the incident instead. That's a no-no. Unfortunately for her (or fortunately for the rule of law), the entire incident was recorded on the officer's bodycam and now DA Doorley has to explain why she has such reckless disregard for the law, police officers, and common sense. And although a Republican now (of course), Doorley has been a Democrat in the past.
