Elections at the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
The polling places opened this morning and the Saturday ballot will close this evening, barring surprises.
We support Stacy Leeds and Raymond Vann and the reform slate -- District 1 Baker and Walkingstick, District 2 Leach and Crittenden, District 3 Yargee and Thornton, District 4 Igert (only), District 5 O'Leary and Shotpouch, District 6 None, District 7 Boen (alone), District 8 Herman and Earley, District 9 Hoskin (alone), and for the two at-large seats created in the 2003 election, which the BIA has correctly declined to approve due to the unlawful exclusion of a portion of the electorate, Keen and Nordwall.
