America’s 250th birthday year, and we know how to throw an Election Day party! I know my Republican friends are in shock, but think about what Republicans did for this big birthday year: Officials in what had been Republican states and Republican precincts all over the country counted votes just like the founders envisioned. The process of peacefully transferring power worked beautifully thanks to those Americans responsible for elections who said, “My guys and gals lost, but the people rule.” In Congress our Arkansas delegation is now in the minority, but maybe there is an opportunity for Arkansas. Not many Republican states had such a strong showing for Republicans as Arkansas: all members of the Congressional delegation remain Republican and Gov. Sarah Sanders was reelected. Would this be a good time to revisit with the Trump administration its rejection of Arkansas’s Medicaid waiver?
