2. Are you the one who is in Fayetteville?

If you are, is there anything on the local ballot of particular interest?

3. I'm in Fayetteville, but don't know of anything of interest locally.

4. So in other words,

this election is going to be a wash because there are no statewide contests, the 3rd District seat has already been won by default, MittWit is going to win the state no matter what boneheaded things he might do, and even the local races there are not interesting.

5. I think you nailed it.

7. Womack is at least going to have a Green opponent this election

I just found out today--
Although the Democratic candidate bowed out, Rebekah Kennedy is running against Womack on the Green ticket.

It also looks like there are several ballot initiatives:

#1 "Temporary" 1/2% sales tax for state highways, bridges, etc.
#2 Municipal and county financing of sales tax anticipated revenue bond projects, etc.
#3 Proposal to allow 4 casinos to be operated by Nancy Todd's Poker Palace in Arkansas, one each in Pulaski, Miller, Franklin and Crittenden counties
#4 Proposal to allow Arkansas Hotels and Entertainment to own seven casinos, one each in Sebastian, Pulaski, Garland, Miller, Crittenden, Boone, and Jefferson counties
#5 Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act
