Oklahomans wait in hours-long lines for last day of early voting
SUMMARY: As the 2024 presidential election approaches, early voting in Oklahoma has seen significant turnout. Many voters, including first-time voter Zachary Jarman, waited hours to cast their ballots on the last day of early voting, expressing the importance of participating in local elections. Voter Freddie Hagan criticized the limited polling locations, calling the lengthy wait times “inhumane.” Senator Adam Hugues acknowledged the need for more voting sites and highlighted efforts to increase pay for election workers. Despite frustrations, many voters felt their efforts were worthwhile, with a reminder to those unable to vote early to go to the polls on Election Day.

Family worried after letter says their land lease rate is going up 500%
SUMMARY: A family living by Shawnee Twin Lakes received shocking news that their land lease rates are set to increase by 500%, jumping from $2,700 to $18,000 annually. This dramatic rise has left them, and several other families, facing difficult decisions about whether to stay or move. They have been leasing the nearly one-and-a-half-acre plot since 2018 and were given the option to buy the land, but the price (over $150,000) is not feasible. The increasing rates prompted concerns about financial ruin, and community members hope to appeal the decision in a board meeting scheduled for December 4.
