Candidates in Arkansas’ state house 5th district race

SO WE WILL START COUNTING ELECTION NIGHT AFTER THE POLLS CLOSE AT 730, AND THEN THAT WILL INCLUDE ALL OF EARLY VOTE AND ELECTION DAY AND THE LARGEST MAJORITY OF THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS OVERSEAS, ABSENTEE BALLOTS HAVE TEN DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION TO OFFICIALLY COME IN AND BE ENTERED INTO THE FINAL CERTIFICATION. SO WE WILL NOT CERTIFY THE ELECTION UNTIL TEN DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION. OKAY. SO TEN DAYS IS WHEN WILL BE CERTIFIED. SO ON ELECTION NIGHT WE’LL GET UNOFFICIAL POLL NUMBERS, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. AND WE GO THROUGH AND AS WE’RE RUNNING THOSE UNOFFICIAL NUMBERS, WE’RE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OUTSTANDING BALLOTS THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE OUTCOME OF THE RACE, SUCH AS PROVISIONAL BALLOTS THAT ARE CAST VERY EARLY OR ELECTION DAY. AND, OF COURSE, IS OUTSTANDING OVERSEAS BALLOTS. AND SO WE’LL KNOW IF THOSE BALLOTS WHEN THEY DO COME IN OR IF THOSE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS ARE COUNTED, IF THEY MIGHT CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION, THAT ELECTION NIGHT OR THAT THE DAY AFTER. SO WE CAN BE AWARE OF ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES IN THE OUTCOME OF THE RESULTS THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE RACE. CAN WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THESE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS? WHAT ARE THOSE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? AND FOR THOSE USING THESE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE AN I.D., WHEN DO THEY HAVE TO SHOW THE ID IN TO THE TO YOUR OFFICE? YEAH. SO PROVISIONAL BALLOTS ALLOW A VOTER WHEN THEY’RE VOTING IN PERSON, TO GO AHEAD AND CAST A BALLOT. IF THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY TO VOTE, WE CAN’T FIND THAT THEY ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE. WHERE THEY REQUESTED AN ABSENTEE BALLOT, NEVER RECEIVED IT. SO THEY’RE VOTING IN PERSON OR IF THEY WERE UNABLE TO SHOW AN I.D. WHILE VOTING IN PERSON. SO PROVISIONAL BALLOTS ARE SIMPLY SET ASIDE TO ALLOW THE COMMISSION A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE ELIGIBILITY OF THE VOTER. AND IF THE VOTER IF THE VOTE DOES COUNT, THE VOTER IS GIVEN A LETTER STATING THAT THEIR BALLOT DID OR DID NOT COUNT. AND IF THEY DID VOTE, A PROVISIONAL BALLOT BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO SHOW ID, THEY MUST RETURN TO THE COURTHOUSE BY THE MONDAY FOLLOWING THE ELECTION. BY NOON IN ORDER FOR THAT PROVISIONAL BALLOT TO COUNT. SO THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS WE REALLY ENCOURAGE VOTERS. YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY COME TO THE POLLS TO BRING THAT A PHOTO ID WITH THEM SO THAT THEY DON’T HAVE TO TAKE THAT SECOND STEP OF COMING BACK TO THE COURTHOUSE TO SHOW ID. WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF VOTERS WHO HAVE MOVED INTO THIS AREA AND MAYBE HAVE REGISTERED TO VOTE, BUT NOT CHANGE THEIR DRIVER’S LICENSE FROM ANOTHER STATE THAT’S CLOSE BY. THOSE VOTERS NEED TO BRING A DIFFERENT FORM OF ID WHEN THEY COME TO VOTE OR GO AHEAD AND GET THEIR ARKANSAS DRIVER’S LICENSE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CAST A BALLOT ON ELECT
