Reddit: First time AR voter. Done

Hey reddit users this is worth a read
https://www.reddit.com/r/Arkansas/comments/1gfv8eg/first_time_ar_voter_done/


O my god its getting closer and closer, good job for voting

Awesome! It is a great feeling isn't it!?

I'm 36, and this is going to be my first time voting ever. I wasn't able to vote before because of legal troubles and not knowing my residency status.

I used to think it was pointless to go vote, but things have degraded to the point where I think we need to do literally everything we can to at least take a step in the right direction

let y'all keep it real. No matter the person/party, this election really counts and the more people that vote the better. We have the privilege of living in a great State, and country that allows us to participate in the outcome. Stand strong and be proud Arkansasans.

The only time a Democrat even came close to challenging the incumbent was in 1974 when Bill Clinton challenged John Paul Hammerschmidt. It came down to the results in Ft. Smith, and there was a lot of talk about shenanigans going on down there. At any rate, Clinton lost, but two years later he went on to become the state's attorney-general, and then two years after that he was governor.

When the tornado hit Rogers, he really seemed concerned about the damage that the tornado had done to the local area. It really did a number on what had been his favorite eating place while he was mayor of Rogers. I don't think he's as bad as some of the others, but still, it's time to end the Republican stranglehold on the 3rd district.
