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.

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.

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

What a dumba$$. I can't believe that people are so stupid that they could wait in the wrong line seven miles from the right one for an hour and a half. I check every year to make sure I know where I am supposed to vote - I never assume that because I voted one place one year that it will be like that forever. As far as I am concerned he deserved it.
