AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins Arkansas
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former President Donald Trump secured Arkansas’ six electoral votes on Tuesday, winning the heavily Republican state for the third presidential election in a row. Trump had the backing of the state’s top Republican figures, including Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sanders, who had served as Trump’s White House press secretary, endorsed the former president’s bid and campaigned for him. Former Gov. Asa Hutchinson ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nomination and declined to endorse Trump’s reelection. Democrats have not won a presidential election in Arkansas since 1996, when native son Bill Clinton won reelection. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 8:30 p.m. EST.

2. The last time Arkansas voted for a Democrat who wasn't a Southerner

was way back in 1960. And even then, the Democratic VP candidate was a Southerner *sigh*

4. It will be a long time before a Democrat wins a state-wide election in Arkansas.

Too many here will never forgive the Democrats for putting a black man in the White Houses as anything other than a servant.
