An Arkansas county temporarily closed most of its early voting sites after the Democratic nominee for secretary of state was left off the ballot, a glitch the candidate said left her in "sheer disbelief."

An official with the Garland County Election Commission said three of the county's four early voting sites were closed at times Monday because ballots did not include Susan Inman, the Democrat running for secretary of state. The sites have since re-opened.

Monday marked the start of early voting for Arkansas' Nov. 6 midterm election.

“I received a text from a friend who went to the early voting poll and said my name wasn’t on the ballot,” Inman said late Monday morning. “Of course I was in sheer disbelief.”

There are lots of words to describe that happening. "Mistake" is not one of them.

5. I'm curious how many Republican candidates this has happened to.

I'm willing to bet the list is very small.

6. FUCK those people.

I lived in Arkansas from 2012 to 2015. . . . To any Arkansans on here, I apologize, but your state is a complete and total SHIT HOLE...

They tried to prevent me from voting in 2012. . . I registered to vote at a DMV in Little Rock which was located in a neighborhood that was historically African American. . . Lo and behold. . . The Secretary of State's office stated that the DMV had failed to ask "required questions" when registering voters and that they had failed to ask me if I were "competent to make decisions" thus I was ineligible to vote. I had to call a voting rights organization to ensure I COULD vote. . . . I LOATHE the entire state. . . There were some nice people, of course, but most people I met were only interested in what "church" I attended, and of course I don't attend any church at all. I had to sit at work and listen to some fucking idiots drone on and on about how they didn't want to vote for a "Muslim" (Obama) and how they were against gay marriage. . . I had to ask them just how gay marriage was a threat to their own marriages. . Of COURSE they couldn't answer that one. . .
