AR-02: Joyce Elliott draws even with French Hill
I think we now know why the French Hill campaign has become so slashingly dishonest in attacks on Democratic Sen. Joyce Elliott.
And we also have a clue why the Arkansas Republican Party is planning a massive effort to disqualify absentee votes in Pulaski County (plus stationing intimidating poll “watchers” in key neighborhoods). It will be a stronghold for Elliott against Hill, a millionaire banker who’s never carried his home county and who has further undistinguished himself by obedience to the orange monster, thrashed in Pulaski in 2016 by Hillary Clinton.
Live by Trump, die by Trump, perhaps. It is a lot to hope for. But Trump’s numbers are down even in Arkansas. Serial lying, corruption and bigotry can do that to a candidate.
Elliott is doing markedly better at this point than Democrat Clarke Tucker, a well-funded and vigorous opponent to Hill in 2018.
