2020 Arkansas House Of Representatives Election
The 2020 Arkansas House of Representatives elections were held on November 3, 2020. Elections were held to elect representatives from all 100 House of Representatives districts across the U.S. state of Arkansas. It was held alongside numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the 2020 Arkansas Senate elections. Prior to the election, the National Conference of State Legislatures labeled this as one of many state and local races throughout the country that could effect partisan balance during post-census redistricting. Republicans expanded their supermajority from 76–24 to 77–23, flipping the 9th and 11th districts, while Democrats flipped the 32nd district. While Arkansas was long a practically single-party state dominated by the Democratic Party during the Solid South, the rise of the Southern Strategy and the realignment of political parties has turned it and most other southern states into Republican strongholds. Republicans have controlled the Hou ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Mississippi Delta
The Mississippi Delta, also known as the Yazoo–Mississippi Delta, or simply the Delta, is the distinctive northwest section of the U.S. state of Mississippi (and portions of Arkansas and Louisiana) that lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers. The region has been called "The Most Southern Place on Earth" ("Southern" in the sense of "characteristic of its region, the American South"), because of its unique racial, cultural, and economic history. It is long and across at its widest point, encompassing about , or, almost 7,000 square miles of alluvial floodplain. Originally covered in hardwood forest across the bottomlands, it was developed as one of the richest cotton-growing areas in the nation before the American Civil War (1861–1865). The region attracted many speculators who developed land along the riverfronts for cotton plantations; they became wealthy planters dependent on the labor of enslaved African Americans, who composed the vast majority of the populatio ...
