What is not here, and why
We ask 27 questions of every state we cover. Oklahoma answers 21 of them from primary sources we have verified. Where a question is missing it is because the Oklahoma record we hold does not address it — not because the answer is no. We would rather publish a shorter list than a page that looks like an answer and is not. As the Oklahoma record grows, questions appear here on their own.
