On November 1st Governor Kevin Stitt issued Executive Order 2023-29, creating the Campaign Finance and Election Threats Task Force to supposedly rigorously assess campaign finance, scrutinize foreign investment, and combat foreign interference in Oklahoma elections.
It is interesting the language the governor uses, mirrors leftist talking points regarding foreign interference etc. and is absolutely void in addressing the issue of machines that can be hacked and manipulated.
Additionally the named members the Governor says will be on this task force have made lite of or refuse to acknowledge issues such as ballot or machine manipulation.
One particular alarm I believe is found in #3 on the Governor’s order. “3. Design, for the Legislature’s benefit as it considers drafting common-sense legislation to curtail any interference in our politics, a mechanism or process by which the state can detect the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation against the peace and dignity of the State of Oklahoma.” This language is extremely alarming in Police State terms. What would be considered “propaganda and disinformation” or “interference in our politics”? This is the very thing that leftists with the Deep State have accused the American People and whistle blowers of, particularly around the 2020 election debate.
You decide if Governor Stitt is setting Oklahomans up to have their free speech and Liberty targeted or have you, a Police State.

Dear Governor,
I was going through Executive Order 2023-29 last night and came across something very alarming. On #3 it states: “Design, for the Legislature’s benefit as it considers drafting common-sense legislation to curtail any interference in our politics, a mechanism or process by which the state can detect the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation against the peace and dignity of the State of Oklahoma.“
As a blogger I’ve been accused of propaganda by people on higher political levels in Oklahoma. Who or what would determine what is “interference in our politics” or “distribution of propaganda and disinformation against the peace and dignity of the State of Oklahoma” is?
This is very concerning and troubling and screams Police State. Our public servants in a state like Oklahoma should be invested in fighting and protecting the rights of the people, not pushing for restrictions or shadow restrictions or regulations of those rights.
Thank you for your time and for your timely reply.
For Life and Liberty,

Tapp into Common Sense 
I think Stitt means well but some wording must be corrected. Stitt does not want a takeover of Oklahoma or America
