Board of County Commissioners of Muskogee County v. King

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court held that the number of signatures certified for a grand‑jury petition in Muskogee County was below the constitutional threshold and therefore issued a writ of prohibition barring the district judge from impaneling the grand jury. The Court calculated the required signatures as 16% of the 2022 gubernatorial vote total, subject to a 500‑5,000 signature floor and ceiling.
