Did Blanche Lincoln STEAL the AR Primary??
I'm hearing that the bulk of the polling locations that previously went to Halter were closed for the primary and that those closings were prompted by a Lincoln crony. So, if that's not election fraud or RICO, then what is it?

I guess the DINO/DLCers figured that they couldn't stomach another Liberal/Progressive getting in the way of their plans to "move to the middle" and decided to win at all costs?

Post what you know about AR voting and polling location irregularities!!!

4. Good. I'm hoping that Halter will refuse to concede and state irregularities as the reason. n/t

Blanche shouldn't be so premature in delivering her victory

11. Garland County.
Lincoln most likely did a Bush Florida 2000.
Lincoln was a loser anyways. The GOP will take this seat along with North Dakota.

13. Does anybody win an election without theft these days?
TPTB realize their time is coming to an end. Expect things to get worse before they get better.
