Why I am worried about this election
The Constitution makes the States sovereign over elections. The President has said, in his own words, that he regrets not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in 2020, and Federal agents have since seized election records from a county election office. I have collected his statements, with dates and sources, on DividedSovereignty.com/2026-elections. Read them and judge for yourself.
This is not a partisan point. The same Constitution that limits a Democratic President limits a Republican one. In 1798 President Adams used the Alien and Sedition Acts to silence critics, and Madison and Jefferson answered with the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions: States are "in duty bound to interpose." Madison's Report of 1800 followed. My Report of 2026 applies the same reasoning to today.
"Ambition must be made to counteract ambition."James Madison, Federalist #51
What Oklahomans will choose
Oklahoma elects a Governor (an open seat) and its other statewide officers, one U.S. Senator, all five members of the U.S. House, and much of the Legislature. The Legislature and the Governor are the officials the Constitution relies on to check Federal overreach. Your sample ballot on the OK Voter Portal lists every race in your precinct.
Seven questions I am asking every candidate
This page does not tell you whom to vote for; my own reasons are on Why Blue. Whoever you support, ask these questions, at town halls, by email and at the door. A candidate's answers tell you whether they will keep their oath to the Constitution or to a party.
- Elections. Will you keep Oklahoma's ballots, voting machines and voter rolls under Oklahoma county election boards, and refuse any Federal seizure that a court has not ordered?
- The National Guard. The Constitution reserves to the States "the Appointment of the Officers" of the militia. Will you support keeping Oklahoma's Guard under State command at home?
- The Divided Sovereignty Act. Will you introduce or support the Divided Sovereignty Act, which holds Federal agents in Oklahoma to the Due Process Clause and Oklahoma standards of conduct, and restores the jury as the means of interposition?
- Your oath. Will you obey your oath to the Constitution when your party's leader asks you not to? Name one time you have.
- Debt. Will you vote against borrowing that cannot be repaid within 19 years, a generation, so that we stop taxing the labor of children who cannot vote?
- Energy and transportation. Will you end Oklahoma's dependence on Federal highway money and open the State to privately funded, solar-powered transport? Oklahoma's Constitution already says monopolies "shall never be allowed."
- The Senate. Will you support restoring State representation in the U.S. Senate, so Senators answer to Oklahoma rather than to their donors?
Write their answers down. Compare them to their votes. What gets measured gets done.
For my fellow veterans
Every one of us swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." No discharge releases us from that oath. We were taught that orders must be lawful. The officials we elect take the same oath. Ask them whether they still mean it, and then vote.
