Only in Arkansas: Two Candidates Unopposed; Both Lose

I frequently quote Arkansas Democrat-Gazette editorial page editor Paul Greenberg's statement that editors in Arkansas and Louisiana have it easy: where other editors have to punch up the news to make it interesting, editors in Arkansas and Lousisiana have to tone it down to make it believable.

Indeed.

Here's this morning's the top story of the Northwest Arkansas Times:

Two area school board candidates who faced no opposition in their races last week nonetheless lost their elections because no one, not even the candidates, cast a vote for them.

Indeed.
