On October 21, former Arkansas Democratic legislator Dwayne Dobbins asked the Arkansas Supreme Court to put him on the ballot as the Democratic nominee for State House, district 39. He had won the May primary but the party had removed him from the ballot anyway. Dobbins argues that the party had no authority to overturn the results of its own primary, without a court order. As noted in earlier blog posts about this matter, if Dobbins doesn’t get on the ballot, the only name on the ballot for this position will be Green Party nominee Richard Carroll.
Alternative candidates and parties any way they can? Does the ends justify the means?
The Democrats did this to themselves all alone. Third parties had nothing to do with this, and should not be blamed just because they happen to benefit.
And I hope Richard Caroll wins it in a walk! But in a perfect world I would like him to whip Dem and GOP rear ends.
