Privett Will Not Block 18-Year-Old Vote Ratification
Oklahoma House Speaker Rex Privett says he will not block federal ratification of the 18-year-old vote if Gov. David Hall calls a special session. Hall weighs a session as Privett previously opposed the measure, cost estimates for a one-day session run around 3 000 dollars while a special election would cost about 125 000 dollars. The Legislature previously blocked ratification but the federal rule would become law regardless of a local special election.
