Negative runoff campaigns: Candidate reactions

flat out rebuttals or comparative ads."

Halter explains, "Just because you spend 2 million telling a lie in an ad, doesn't make the ad true, it just makes it a loud lie."

Courtesy of the American Political Science Review, in a recent bipartisan review, of those surveyed:

•59% believe that most candidates deliberately twist the truth.

•45% believe some candidates deliberately make unfair attacks on their opponents.

•87% are concerned about the level of personal attacks in today's political campaigns.

"Until you know who is funding this, you don't what their motive is. That's why the second bill I'll introduce as a senator is to close these loopholes on the campaign finance laws so we will have total transparency," Halter says.

All candidates say their career records are on their web sites and that's the best place to check your facts.

A lot of Arkansans have already placed their ballots in the runoff elections. According to the Secretary of State's office, as of Wednesday afternoon, more than 21,000 of us took advantage of early voting. More than 1,800 absentee ballots have been returned. That's a total of more than 23,000 votes across the state.

Runoff elections will be held on June 8 and you can vote early from June 1-7.
