Oklahoma Court Orders Legislature Reapportioned By Population
A three judge federal court ordered the Oklahoma Legislature reapportioned strictly by population, moving away from rural domination. The Model C plan creates a 44 member Senate and 107 to 109 member House with Oklahoma and Tulsa counties gaining more seats. The ruling, endorsed by judges Murrah Daugherty Rizley, shifts power toward cities and will be in effect for the 1964 elections. Rural challengers pledged to appeal to the U S Supreme Court if needed.
