The Arkanssouri Blog.: Primary Day.

Primary Day.

Wanting to be the first one to cast a ballot, I woke up at 6:30, quickly showered, threw on denim shorts, my "dress" sneakers, and my Outright Libertarians T-shirt. I skipped my daily walk at Mammoth Spring Park so I could get to the polls right at 7:00.

This, of course, will throw my year-long weight-loss plan into Code White. I'll explain the color codes, and the weight-loss plan, at some point in the future.

But when I got to the polling place, I found the polls had been open since 6:00. I was voter #27 for the day.

Someone please tell the poll workers that it's not very polite to stare at voters who request Libertarian ballots as if they were some exotic species of bug.

I voted for all the single-candidate races, and the long-named candidate in the one race where there were two candidates. I think the other one in that race didn't have a website.

On Amendment 1, Yes.
On Amendment 2, No.

I fully expect to lose on both.
But my hands are clean. I will not provide the rope for my own lynching.

Check out your candidate for State Treasurer's bizarre take on Amendment 1 (the casino issue). She voted against allowing the prospective casino owners to open a casino because she thinks they ought to be able to do whatever they want with their own property?!??? And if she wanted to build a casino, by golly, she'd just build it. Wonderful, a candidate for treasurer who doesn't understand that an impoverished town of a few hundred wasn't going to pass the hat to build a casino at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. I had actually considered voting for her in November after all the attack ads the Republicans ran against each other. Then I read her thinking and remember why I am a Republican with a big R and a libertarian with a little l.
