Oklahoma: State Supreme Court to hear Enid Commissioner appeal

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has agreed to hear Enid Commissioner Ben Ezzell's appeal of a judge's rejection of his attempt to throw out a recall against him. The recall has been set for February 9, 2021.

The recall date will be on the same day as the new elections for commissioner. Ezzell is termed out, so the race will be focused on the last three months of his term. 

The issue was Ezzell's support for the city to enforce the state's COVID-19 alert system and his criticism of the police chief for a failure to enforce a mask mandate proposal designed to combat the pandemic.
