This is the first time I've heard about this, but I looked it up, and that is indeed weird. What did you find out about it?

I did the same thing and then looked in the archives of this site, and it's apparently a ballot design issue.

Yeah, it's just wild.

Related, a lot of 2020 Arkansas results are odd and all over the place. Nothing extraordinarily high, but in one county, you have Kanye West, J.R. Myers, Brock Pierce, Rocky de la Fuente, and Gloria La Riva getting more votes than Jo Jorgensen [Desha County] - it's a wild ride.

probably should do this again because the last time I did was when I joined seven years ago

- I'm a guy
- I'm from ottawa, was born here and have lived here my whole life
- I'm 24, turning 25 in november
- would describe myself as decently left wing, probably a social democrat or a democratic socialist if I had do? it's not really something that I care to think about too deeply
- I've voted for the NDP every time I've voted so far, also kind of open to the Greens, or maybe the Liberals in a huge pinch (currently living in Pierre Poilievre's riding so uh yeah in the very unlikely event that he's as close to defeat as he was in 2015 I'd maybe vote LPC? "stretch opportunity in a seat where there are no other options than them or a tory MP I particularly dislike" is what it would take to maybe vote for them lmao)
- would generally be a more progressive Dem in the US
- some of my interests outside of elections are music (into a lot of stuff but rn I generally gravitate towards like, post-hardcore, alt rock, uk garage, and pop. my last.fm username is also lyhom so maybe check that out if you want a better explanation), video games, and tv (usually game shows or reality shows tbh)
- haven't really posted much because frankly I don't have many interesting things to say or special knowledge on stuff tbh. getting kind of sick of not being able to see images though so maybe I'll get to 20 posts soon
