In 2008, every ballot issue passed with a decisive majority. Last night, we witnessed the very same story. This trend begs a question: Is it possible that Arkansans are so hungry for change, they’ll vote for any ballot issue in hopes that actual positive change will occur? It’s a question worth asking.
Seven out of ten of the candidates who refused to complete our survey for the Arkansas Voter’s Guide did not get elected on Tuesday.
Everyone—including ourselves—is talking about the sweeping gains Republicans made last night. It’s undeniable that Republicans had some big wins in Congress and across Arkansas yesterday. However, I can’t help but wonder if they might have won bigger had they put forth some extra effort.
