• The Oklahoma Election Board ruled that state Rep. Sean Roberts, who is running for labor commissioner, cannot be listed on the ballot as "The Patriot," as he had hoped to be, KFOR-TV reported.
"I'm not surprised they ruled I had to change my name," Roberts said. "Back in my area, in the grassroots, I'm generally known as The Patriot."
He claimed between 200 and 600 people know him by that name.
Roberts' opponent and current labor commissioner Leslie Osborn said Roberts has appeared on seven previous ballots as Kevin Sean Roberts or Sean Roberts, and that he is not generally known as The Patriot.
Roberts is considering appealing the decision. [KFOR, 4/27/2022]
