Cleveland County Election Board says mayoral candidate’s claim of voting machine malfunction is false
Mayoral candidate Nicole Kish’s claim that an election worker took a voter’s ballot after a voting machine malfunction is false, according to the Cleveland County Election Board. Kish claimed on Facebook Thursday that, around 4 p.m., a voting machine had broken during the early voting process and a voter, who was voting for Kish, asked to leave her completed ballot with an election worker. Bill Pretty, the assistant secretary of the Cleveland County Election Board, said that the claim was false. In the event a machine broke down, an election worker would’ve directed the voter to place their ballot in an emergency bin to be scanned once the machine was replaced or fixed.

‘It was pretty crazy’: Jennie Baranczyk recaps OU basketball’s snow-impeded trip to Waco
About six hours before the start of their matchup against Baylor, the Sooners’ flight to Waco was canceled due to inclement weather. This comes after their original flight out of Max Westheimer Airport in Norman was also canceled due to weather. When that flight got canceled, OU’s travel options were slim. Director of basketball operations Shannon Gage spent the next hour trying to contact nearby airports before realizing they would have to drive. Kincaid bus driver Kevin Kingsbury agreed to stick with the Sooners through the winter storm. When the Sooners finally got to the Ferrell Center at 7:15 p.m., they had just 30 minutes to change, warm-up and take the floor.
