4029tv: Arkansas Supreme Court orders secretary of state to perform initial count of abortion signatures
A ruling Tuesday by the State Supreme Court granted a motion to expedite from Arkansans for Limited Government.
The emergency relief granted a motion to expedite, meaning Thurston will have until Monday, July 29 to perform the initial count of signatures collected by volunteer canvassers and provide the state supreme court with the findings.
The state Supreme Court also said a part of the motion of emergency relief could grant the petitioner, Arkansans for Limited Government, a thirty-day provisional cure period, meaning they will have 30 days starting Monday to collect the signatures they think they will need to fulfill the requirements for it to go on the ballot this November.
So, I've already signed this. Any way to tell if mine was one of the signatures that were thrown out?
As far as i know (and not a lawyer), nothing is getting thrown out now. The court ordered the ag to count all signatures. The extra 30 days are just standard, and most likely not needed here.
That might be new information I missed. Last I heard they were still removing any signatures collected by people who were hired. So only signatures collected by volunteers would count. Arkansans for Limited Government were fighting for more time since they were misled on the process.
