The lead-up to November elections can only be described as tense in Carroll County for both local and national elections. The Carroll County courthouse was busy Nov. 8 with vote counters and political analysts awaiting election results. The 1 percent sales tax in Eureka Springs failed by a wide margin. Randy Mayfield and Sam Barr remained in office for Sheriff and county judge respectively. Peg Adamson took James DeVito’s spot on City Council in Eureka Springs. Oh, and Donald Trump is our next President. Because in our democracy “rule of majority” doesn’t mean that.
