Later courts went against this
Overruled in part by Alexander v. Taylor, 51 P.3d 1204 (2002)
Board v. Plunkett, 1956 OK 329, 305 P.2d 525; Brown v. State Election Board, 1962 OK 36, 369 P.2d 140; Davis v. McCarty, 1964 OK 5, 388 P.2d 480; and any other opinions reaching the same conclusions, are expressly overruled to the extent that they held the Oklahoma courts must decline to hear cases and grant remedies for violations of congressional redistricting disputes under Art. 1, § 2 and the 14th
The opinion
HALLEY, Justice
(dissenting).
I concur in the views expressed by Mr. Justice Blackbird and only wish to add a word to what has been said by him. The majority opinion confesses weakness that does not exist under our Constitution. In my opinion the evidence is overwhelming, and the trial court found, that there were enough illegal absentee votes cast in Wagoner County to change the result of the primary election and when voided Payne would have had a majority. No Legislature has the right to take away from this Court the right to correct wrongs when they occur regardless of the area of the life in which they may arise. We are clothed with the power under our Constitution to see that all elections are conducted fairly. I dissent.
