On April 1, 2012, the organization ProgressNow New Mexico said that Little was representing a district in which he did not actually live. Allegedly, Little listed his business address as his home address, and the residential address associated with Little was reportedly outside of the district. Little responded to the allegations, saying that he and his divorced wife were "reconciling" their relationship and that he slept at his business address most nights. Little's candidacy was also challenged by groups saying that Little filled out his election paperwork incorrectly. He stayed on the ballot in 2012, but was defeated in the general election.
