The Arkansas Secretary of State has rejected three statewide initiative petitions for the same reason, that the sponsors had a tiny wording error in their certification about the paid circulators. The law says the sponsors are supposed to certify that the paid circulators passed a criminal background check. Instead the sponsors submitted a statement that they had checked the criminal histories of all the circulators. See this story.

The three initiatives deal with these subjects: (1) a nonpartisan redistricting commission; (2) a top-four election system; (3) gambling. Thanks to Fairvote for the link.

The Secretary of State had not yet checked the validity of the signatures.
