well the reason why the polls were held open is because of the County Clerk Carolyn staley. there werent poll works out and no ballots.........she does this quite often and yet there never is any question of charging her with anything. Im serious she had problems in the 2000 elections, minor local elections and probably ones i dont even remember. As far as pryor and hutchingson that race was called b4 pulaski county votes were in ........at least i didnt see any results from pulaski county till around noon on wednsday!
Sorry about my ambiguity; I was asking about the New Jersey activist court ruling.
I find it quite interesting that the circuit judge the Arkansas Supreme Court slapped down today for overstepping his authority is the same judge that recently ruled Arkansas school funding unconstitutional. Judge Collins Kilgore issued a ruling that the state's school funding is not only inequitable between school districts but is inadequate to provide the level of education for which each child is eligible under the constitution.
Sounds like Judge Kilgore has found another "penumbra" in that multi-faceted, refractive document. This is a grim reminder of the ruling some years back by a judge in Kansas City that the Kansas City district must raise it's taxes in order to meet a Judge's idea of the correct level of funding of schools in the area.
In the current school case the state has appealed, but odds are the ruling will stand. If it does, the state will be in a deep financial crisis. All of which makes me marvel at the enormous power wielded by a circuit judge.
