Oklahoma voters know the drill. 

You arrive at your precinct, get in line and prepare to present proof of identification to a poll worker manning the check-in station. The precinct official reads your name, checks it against the voter list and confirms that you’re eligible to cast a ballot. 

Nothing within State Question 846, which proposes enshrining Oklahoma’s voter identification requirement into the constitution, changes this process. Concerns that a future Legislature could eliminate the voter identification requirement, however, prompted Republican lawmakers to advance the constitutional amendment to the August runoff ballot. 

“It’s in concrete now,” Rep. Eric Roberts, R-Oklahoma City, said of Oklahoma’s voter identification law while presenting SQ 846 on the House floor in April. “We’re going to set it in stone with this state question.” 

Proponents say SQ 846 would ensure voters have the final say on any legislative attempt to strike down voter identification requirements, which national polling shows is popular across party lines. Oklahoma’s constitution cannot be amended, via legislative action or an initiative petition, without majority voter approval. 

Opponents contend that the measure is redundant, sows doubt about election security and gives the Legislature broad authority to decide what acceptable proof of identification is.

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.
