Andy and Emily zoom out, beginning with state Rep. Danny Williams being asked to resign by the Rules Committee and scaling up to what's happening with Congressional approval ratings (and why they may be important in Oklahoma).

With Governor Stitt attempting to put a state question on the ballot to ask voters if they want to call a constitutional convention, we decided to do a deep dive into the origins of the Oklahoma Constitution, its composition and structure, and how it stacks up against other states.

Andy and Emily discuss the results of the August primary run-off election, including the crushing defeat of SQ844, the oh-so-close win by Mike Mazzei, and the better-than-expected turnout overall, as well as what this potentially means for the general election in November.

Andy and Emily reiterate that American elections are very secure, and we discuss the recent revelations about Oklahoma Rep. Danny Williams, who is under investigation for "improper behavior." We say again: Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent—the bigger issue is voters not participating in them.
