there is a weird thing going on now in arkansas.here's an initiative petition on the ballot to do hand marked, hand counted ballots, which i think is absurd, because i trust that scanning machine to read the ballots a lot more than i do somebody and person reading it and making tally marks and adding it all up. one, because it is more accurate, because -- and, two, there is more potential for someone to change the ballot if you do a hand marked ballot. host: what do you say to people concerned about election fraud? caller: as i understand it, and i understand it well, there's really no opportunity for fraud. if the local election people somehow knew how to hack into those voting machines and alter the program in the machine, yeah, maybe it would be a possibility. but those are designed so that cannot happen. the i.t. people that create those machines have the hardware set up in there to where you can't change that. the best way to count ballots is you have a machine that is programmed and hardwired, not connected to the internet, an

he mentioned my county in this book, clinton county, arkansas. and i want to talk, you know, edmondson, arkansas what happened? there was a black owned city called edmondson, arkansas. my my father's actually buried there. he's i can picture this town my mind. but what happened in? edmondson, arkansas and crittenton county this that sort of tells the of not just the sort of bureaucratic racism even how widespread this violence was also a part and parcel of the story. yeah this is really one of the most tragic and outrageous stories that i tell in this book. edmondson was it was a small town in the arkansas delta, just west of memphis. and this a town that was founded by two african-american. it was actually a black founded town in the late 1800s that then was resettled and developed by an african-american, you know, land development company in the early hundreds and became this thriving community that had, you know, multiple churches small businesses. it was entirely, you know, african-american you know, land and homeowners. but it was surrounded

dan in arkansas, good morning. caller: good morning.'ve been a poll worker for the last two elections. i have a couple interesting stories. one guy was temporarily working in california applied for a ballot, when he got it, he realized it was not going to get back to arkansas in time for the election. he drove from california's arkansas just he can vote. the problem is, if you ask for an absentee ballot, you cannot vote on election day. so we had him a ballot that does not go through the scanner, and they give it to the commission, and they decide whether to count it or not. we had another -- go ahead. host: i want to hear your story. what is your next story? caller: well, we had another one where students were attending college in our town at the local college and did not show up as registered to vote. i took them to the side table and talk to them about what that means. we have been instructed, if somebody comes up to vote, let them vote. if you're not a registered voter in our county -- it turned out they were registered in their hom

i do not remember hearing about the arkansas and type boy cut bill until the arkansas times took up the challenge against harry. i'm the rabbi of the largest congregation in the state. nobody had talked with me about this proposal. supporting israel is of the greatest importance to me. so i could not be stronger in my opposition to boycotts of any israeli products. however, i was told that a newspaper would have to sign an oath that it would not participate in any kind of political action. how bad as a visa american freedoms are terribly important to americans use. you know, we wouldn't be in the magnificently enviable position in which we find ourselves. where are we not blessed with freedom of religion and the rights to express ourselves as we see fit the i haven't spoken to leadership in the jewish community. the local jewess leaders like to talk here in little rock. i, i don't, i don't, i don't agree with. so i didn't need the locals opinion on this. i don't feel like her auntie boycott built fringes on individuals. first amendment rights at all. every now and then we're and somebod

today's topic, let's join a group of young people at the national education program workshop in circe, arkansas the classroom lectern is a noted young historian. >> in order to have a proper appreciation on the american economic system, we must know how the national income is divided in america, in other words, we must examine the distribution of the great wealth produced to the operation of american capitalism is the distribution widespread, or is the wealth of america concentrated at the hands of a few as the socialist and communist say? this is the central question for our discussion today. the answer constitutes a tribute to our system, for the wealth produced within american capitalism is wider distributed throughout our population as we shall see basically, an economic system must fulfill two social needs of the population which it serves, first, adequate production of goods, and second, and equitable distribution of those goods. of course, there are other measurements of value for an economic system, and in our previous classroom sessions, we have seen how well our own system measures up

that a story arkansas figures in that not not not good. not. so smithson. made his bequest. richard rausch, representing the van buren administration, went over, got the money. i know if it was worth it was 150,000 pounds today. several million dollars in gold bars got brought it back, got the treasury. quincy adams had already in congress he got gotten control the committee that would create smithsonian decide what it would do. oh the things he insisted on no scribblers no scribblers living in booths in libraries and the smithsonian me but anyways the the the secretary of the treasury decided to he had a friend who was a who traded in bonds and so he allowed him to use that money to buy state bonds and he bought arkansas bonds with it and. two years later they defaulted and. so all of that money, the smiths and game was swallowed up. later, the secretary of treasury, a different restored that restored that that that money. so. so we've already kind of brought up the on the stock it was he wasn't involved with the abolitionist or strictly anti-slavery so how did he end up in

but um, i ended writing my first book, my dissertation and my first book on, on arkansas, which is where i'm from. and i knew the french and spanish had had sort of settled there and i thought, well, i can read those documents in french and spanish. and we were talking about and but it turned out those are places where the fa in both case the fa edge of of the french or the spanish empire, arkansas was not where you wanted to be sent. if you worry i officer in the french or spanish empire and so so this official unofficial would be sent out there with maybe ten soldiers. right because these are empires are very spread out surrounded by thousands and thousands dozens of of oh of cops right there. and then many, many more osage were incredibly and dangerous tribe anybody who crossed them the 18th century and so their documents the letters the reports that these men had to write back are just they're just full of everything that. what was said or that the osage did. and it and as i read those and wrote dissertation, i thought, well, this is this is a place that where native americans are in
