DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS POLLS OPEN TILL 10 P.M.

Because of the many problems surfacing at various polling locations around the state, the Democratic Party of Arkansas is seeking an injuction to keep polls around the state open until 10:00 p.m. tonight.

This is a developing story, and we will have more information as it becomes available.

RATS: Just like Saddam . . . Start a fight, and then whine to change the rules.

So just how many times does Pryor's illegal Mexican maid need to vote?????????

The election in Pulaski County (Little Rock) has been a total fiasco this year.

Election Day Problems for Pulaski County

Little Rock (AP) - Voters are reporting precinct and registration problems in Pulaski County during Tuesday's elections. Voter Marvin Agee spent an hour and a half in line in west Little Rock only to find out that his precinct was changed to a polling place seven miles away. On the way out of the incorrect site, Agee saw Democratic Senate candidate Mark Pryor. The voter told Pryor that the candidate would have had his vote, but now he's too upset to cast a ballot.

Also in Little Rock, 39-year-old musician Lisa Foerster said she went to the polls and was told she isn't a registered voter.  Foerster said she has been voting at the site for six years. She voted on a challenged ballot, but said she's upset because she's not sure her vote will count.

They are LIARS! They have all had the same time that everyone else has had to get out and vote! I just got back and there was a long line but EVERYONE got to vote! There was absolutely NO PROBLEMS whatsoever! Everyone was as nice and polite as could be. These people make me sick. They are trying to start something. AGAIN!

They only want the polls in Central Arkansas kept open.

OK, what are the Free Republic rules on swearing?

It could be a great opportunity to call all those "family values" morons in to vote for Hutchison (you know, the ones who were taking shots at the man on something they know NOTHING about) - cause if they don't come out to bring him on in to victory, then they can just STFU about their social bulls*** agenda from here on out.

So who actually makes the decision? Even a dem friendly judge will have to think twice since the precedent was set in MO in 2000. Local judge said yes - higher up said no(don't remember exact details).

Do dims only come out at night?

It is common knowledge that the living dead only come out at night, preferably one with a full moon.

And as we all know, the mojority of Democrat voters (and sometimes, their candidates) happen to be dead.

The trick is to never let one of their zombies sneak up on you while you're taking a shower.

Laws? What laws? The Democrat Party -- The party of perjury and obstruction of justice; the party of corruption; the party of race-baiting; the party of class warfare; the party of demagoguery; the party of appeasement; the party of sedition; the party of election fraud... "We're the Democrat Party....Dividing Americans for Nearly 200 Years!”™

Razor sharp comments!

Outside of treason and murdering third trimester babies, the democrats have ceased to stand for anything.

They are a corpse of the party with Night of the Living Dead candidates like Frank (Mr. Alzheimer) LautenCadaver, Walter (It escaped from the Wax Museum!) Mondull, and Grey (Say, is that a dollar in your pocket?) Davis.

Another sign its all going for the Democrats downhill tonight cause they sure thought they had ARK in the bag. You are looking at history in the making tonight and that's a Republican Senate! No wonder the Democrats are seeking an injunction. (And if they thought Pryor would REALLY win, they wouldn't be seeking an injunctionm now would they? This smells of desperation.) If they lose ARK, they can say good bye to the whole enchilada in Congress.

[demlosers]

Waaaaaaaaaaah!
Buncha whinners!

[lelio]

only to find out that his precinct was changed to a polling place seven miles away
Surprise, surprise he's voting democrat. Maybe things are different in Arkansas, but I received my voter ID in the mail that told me where to go.

[Fraulein]

No need to keep the polls open so late. We all know that the democrat's constituency does not work. However, it is under the cloak of night that the dead begin rising from the grave.

[spectre]

One of the major problems has to be that when people show up to vote, they are told they have to go to another precinct because they have been moved.

We saw this "first-hand". People who have voted for a decade or more, told they have to get in their car and go "else-where".

Imagine the surprise if the clock runs out as the doors are shut! This is a mess in Arkansas.

Heck, they didn't have my husband and I down to receive a ballot. We had to wait in a holding area...weird.

Fox saying that unnamed GOP sources (that weasel Bill Kristol?) has basically given up on AR & CO, so it may indicate that the RATS think they can steal the governor's race from Huckabee.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

The 'Rats are too predictable.

[kcvl]

now he's too upset to cast a ballot

Well, that's too damn bad. He still had a chance but decided NOT to cast his ballot because he was "upset"!

[Dog Gone]

OK, what are the Free Republic rules on swearing?

It's legal tonight on any thread, and on any thread in the next few days regarding Rat legal challenges.
