A group is seeking to boost voter participation in Oklahoma by opening primary elections to all voters, regardless of political party. State-level races are often decided in Republican primaries in Oklahoma, because there are no Independent or Democratic candidates on the ballot, leaving many voters locked out. “Voters are showing up with nothing to vote for and all the meaningful decisions are happening in the primary.” said Jeremy Gruber, an organizer for the group Oklahoma United. “That's why everyone needs a chance to participate.”The change would come through Oklahoma's Initiative Petition process. Gruber said if signature collection goes well, the group hopes to get the measure on the ballot as a State Question in 2026, when Oklahoma will be selecting a new governor.Independents are the fastest growing voter demographic in the state, according to the Oklahoma State Election Board. There are 481,817 Independent voters registered in the state, a 32.4% increase since 2020. Meanwhile, Democrat voter registration declined by 12.2% during the same period. Republican voter registration has increased 13.1% in Oklahoma since 2020. Oklahoma currently allows political parties to hold closed primary elections. In recent years, the Oklahoma Democratic Party has allowed independents to vote in primaries, but the Republican and Libertarian parties have continued to hold closed primaries. Gruber said there are multiple systems of open primaries in use across the country, but the version the group hopes Oklahomans will soon see on a ballot mimics municipal elections most are already familiar with.“Many of those municipalities across the state, which are arguably some of our more functional forms of government, use a unified primary,” former State Sen. AJ Griffin, who supports open primaries, said.“Voter participation is a sign of a healthy democracy,” Griffin said. “This isn't a partisan issue … but it is a way to engage all of the voters in the process and increase civic participation in a state with one of the highest ratings for election integrity in the country.Gruber said every state that has enacted an open primary system has seen voter turnout increase.“It's not hard to understand why,” he said. “You let more voters vote, you get higher voter turnout. It's basic math.” Only 64% of Oklahoma voters participated in this year's 2024 general election. The Republican mayors of both Oklahoma City and Tulsa favor the switch. Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt said in September that he hopes a statewide open primary system would wipe out some of Oklahoma's partisan divide.“People say ‘Gosh it sure seems like you're electing mayors that unify people, that seem competent, that are well-liked across the political spectrum,” Holt said. “It's not magic … every voter gets to see all the candidates, and all the candidates have to face all of the voters.” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum told The Tulsa World earlier this year that he now supports open primaries, after he campaigned against them as a city councilor more than a decade ago.“I think it is important to point out, there is a Republican dominance right now (in Oklahoma), but we have had for a longer period...

The Duke Blue Devils were able to win on the football field over the weekend, but on Episode 646 of the Duke Basketball Roundup, we know we need to get better. Duke was able to beat the UConn Huskies 26-21, the 3rd straight week that Duke scored 26 points. There were definitely some guys who had standout performances, but Donald and Jason know that improvement is a must as the calendar continues to move. We break down some of the things that need to improve as the Blue Devils turn their attention to this Saturday's game against Middle Tennessee. After the break, AJ Griffin is reportedly considering stepping away from the game of basketball. We don't know anything official yet, but we offer some encouraging words to the beloved member of The Brotherhood, no matter what he ultimately decides to do. Finally, we salute an absolute legend in the Duke community, as we discuss the passing of Dean Gerald Wilson. He served as an advisor and mentor to thousands of students over his 60 years, including Donald and Jason. They both reflect on his life of service to Duke and how he personally shaped their lives. He will be immeasurably missed. Make sure you're following us! Head to our Linktree to get all our available social media and links to follow and subscribe to the show.

Garrett Jackson, Summer League head coach and assistant coach of the Houston Rockets, joins The Matt Thomas Show as the Rockets are 2-1 so far in the NBA Summer League. Reed Sheppard, the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has averaged 20 points and 4.7 assists in his first three games with the Rockets. Sheppard "always seems kind of calm" with the ball and his "poise" is one of his biggest strengths, but "he could be more vocal" on the court, Jackson said. Cam Whitmore, the reigning Summer League MVP, recorded a game-high 25 points against the Washington Wizards on Sunday. It's "good to see [Whitmore] kind of grow in that leadership role." Despite a 87-73 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday, newly acquired AJ Griffin had a positive impact with 18 points and five rebounds. The goal for Summer League is that "you want to get everybody's feet wet...and give them a little bit of structure," but also step aside and let the younger players develop their game. The Rockets will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. "I expect Reed [Sheppard] to play more," but "I think Cam [Whitmore] is done."

The NBA Draft has been completed, and we discuss where Jared McCain and Kyle Filipowski will begin their NBA careers on Episode 636! The NBA Draft was a 2-day affair this year, and we had to go through both days to learn where McCain and Flip ended up. Jared McCain was drafted 16th by the Philadelphia 76ers, and Jason and Donald are really happy about what could be a great situation for him in the Association. Jared could fit in not just with his shooting and rebounding ability, but with his personality and work ethic. We also discuss Kyle Filipowski, both on the court and off the court. He slips to the second round, eventually being drafted by the Utah Jazz with the 32nd pick. We discuss what happened pre-draft that could have caused him to slip out of the first round and be left in the green room after night 1. We also get into the stories that have come up about his current relationship and what we have heard about how it affected not just his draft stock, but his world. After the break, there were some Duke Blue Devils that will have new places to play in the NBA due to trades during the draft. We discuss where Wendell Moore and AJ Griffin will call home now with their trades to the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets, respectfully. Make sure you're following us!
