Third party won’t be on Oklahoma’s November ballot

A third political party has lost its bid to get its presidential and vice presidential nominees on Oklahoma’s Nov. 6 general election ballot.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday to deny a request from the Oklahoma Americans Elect Party to have its nominees and the party’s seven presidential electors listed.

The high court also denied the party’s request to grant a temporary injunction requiring officials to halt printing ballots.

All state and local absentee ballots were printed Thursday afternoon, state Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax said.
