I work fraud investigations for a bank, get a lot of requests for documentation from law enforcement in regards to people who’ve reported fraud, and a ton of subpoenas.
Couple months back this detective from southern Arkansas sends a fax to us requesting documentation stemming from a victim who had a card fraudulently opened through us. No problem. I compile all the docs, download all the phone calls. I notice there’s no email address on the cover sheet, only the return fax number.
So I call the guy because there’s too many pages to fax and obviously you can’t fax a call recording. Ask him for his work email. Dude gives me a yahoo address. I’m like sorry, has to be an official email address. Dude sounds uncomfortable, lowly stammers out something in what sounded like a shameful tone that I could only make out half of.
“Hey, sorry man, I didn’t catch that. Can you repeat it?”
“The sheriff’s office doesn’t have official email. The building doesn’t even have internet access.”
<internally> Dafuq?
“Uh, ok...”
Had to get permission from on high to send to a personal email, which is generally a no no.
So yeah, when Huckabee has got all of his civil servants having access to some basic ass shit like email, then maybe he can talk some shit. But probably not.
Edit: I of course can not rule out that at some point they had official email, but lost it. I didn’t drill the guy since he was obviously embarrassed. How would they lose email? Well, when a business isn’t doing well, IT is one of the first things to get chopped. I have absolutely fuck all idea what it costs to run an email server for a county, or contract someone to do so, but I bet it isn’t cheap.
But consider you’re in an severely economically depressed area and you have to make hard choices about what services to chop. Really not a stretch at all.
Edit 2: Yes, obviously Huckabee hasn’t been governor in a few years. But when he’s attacking a different state, it’s fair game to point out that he didn’t leave his state in the best condition, and still advocates positions that keeps the status quo intact.

Wait... If he will ask for sanctuary status doesn't that mean that he wants asylum there?
