The long anticipated websites are now going online. you can get a preview of the initial content at www.OKHD.org.
OKHD.org
went up early this year starting with the Special Session vote index
and the 2017 Index scores and votes were added by early spring. The 2018
GOP Party Platform Index scores were added before the first of June so
that those challenging the incumbents had a quick way to generate a list
of bad votes. Our philosophy is that the House of Representatives is
the easier chamber to influence so we always lead with the House votes.
Then
our staffers completed the 49 web sites for the individual Senate
Districts last week, with the 2018 GOP Platform Index scores and bad
votes posted, the 2017 Index scores and bad votes posted, and the
Special Session GOP Party Platform Index and bad votes posted, with the
caveat that the Special Session scores haven't been cross checked yet.
The
idea was to have an easily remembered URL for a politician's voting
record. OKSD.org/ plus the district number is a very short URL that
leads directly to the web site for that district and the current office
holder. Oksd.org/44 is a lot easier to recall or copy from a printed
flyer or if a voter just wants a fast way to find his Senate or House
district voting records.
Voters
will find contact info for the office holder, a list of towns and zip
codes in each district, a link to the actual district map, then the
index score for that individual Senator or State Representative, and a
list of the votes they got wrong or refused to vote on.
We'll have much more to say about this in the next 2 weeks...
