The Arkansas Secretary of State’s office says these are the registration totals for May 3, 2024: Republican 131,647; Democratic 86,231; Libertarian 700; Green 104; other 1; independent 1,543,863.
Percentages are: Republican 7.47%; Democratic 4.89%; Libertarian .04%; Green .01%; independent 87.59%.
Percentages in October 2023 were: Republican 7.37%; Democratic 4.94%; Libertarian .04%; Green .01%; independent 87.64%.
The reason independents are such a huge share is that in Arkansas, how one registers has no practical effect. Primaries are open and any voter can choose any party’s primary ballot. But the registration form does ask for party affiliation.
GOP rising, and 88% independent. Cool!
That’s our natural state.
As an Arkansan, I can say how odd it is that the Secretary of State even tracks this information. It truly means nothing legally.
Very curious to know what party the “other 1” is registered as
@ Bill
As you well know, there is little Hope there.
Yeah, I still remember. They put my name on the town signs and had to take it off, they got tired of replacing them from getting too shot full of holes all the time.
Sorry again about keeping Monica to myself and not sharing like a good husband would.
@ leftist, it’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to. You would cry too if it happened to you.
Everett, as a former Arkansas, I share your pain.
Arkansan. The durn thing has the temerity to correct me. It depends on what the meaning of the letter s is, Google auto correct.
El Caminos are my favorite automobiles. Them and El rancheros. Boy, I used to have fun in them things back in the day, back when I used to drive myself.
@ Progressive – That’s the lone Retard Party voter. Refer to the Massachusetts data. They apparently have one (1) in every state.
I feel so lonely, I could cry.
That’s not an Elvis song, you retard. It’s Hank William’s. Y’all need to quit trying to be me, son.
Well, shoot. Sorry, daddy. I was just being retarded.
Y’all both need to quit. It’s Fats Domino.
There’s nobody like Retards when it comes to being retarded.
Who are you calling a retard, you retard?
The retard called you a retard, you retarded retard. No need to get all retarded about it, retard.
It’s Andy’s sausage party, he’ll kiss a guy if he wants to; guys if he wants two. You’d kiss a guy too if you liked man goo!
Who dat?
Andy Gonzalez, gay illegal alien petitioner
Never heard of him. From Arkansas?
