The minor problems experienced by voters in Arkansas that
I reported here two days ago seem to have been a lot worse
than was reported by the media on Tuesday; at least in White
Co. Not one voting machine functioned properly at any of 32
polling places in the county. In one race there was a
3,954-vote disparity. That problem was cleared-up only after
the losing candidate found the disparity and called it to
the attention of officials. Also, the internal clocks were
never set for Daily Light Savings time so the machines would
not open on time and would not close on time. Also on the
list of errors was candidate’s names left off of the
ballot....
