Vote today; it's the most important civic duty.

Keep one statistic in mind if you're on the fence about voting Tuesday, if you think it doesn't matter in this nonswing state or if you're sick to the teeth of the general election. The statistic is this: In 2008, Oklahoma ranked among the worst five sates in voter participation - only 55.8 percent of eligible voters bothered to exercise their civic duty.


It's been a long slog of a campaign with a lot of confusing issues that require voters to make tough decisions Tuesday. But it really is worth the effort.
