The Arkansas Secretary of State has verified the petitions for presidential status for 2024 for the Green Party and the Prohibition Party. They each needed 1,000 signatures. The Secretary had earlier verified the presidential petition for the American Solidarity Party.
These three parties did their 2024 presidential petition early because this year the Arkansas legislature increased the requirement to 5,000 signatures, but that law is not in effect yet, so the old law controls at this time.
The Libertarians sent out an email that made it sound like their full party petition was certified, but on closer read only actually said it had been submitted. Was it certified, anyone know?
It should be certified in a week or so.
I’ll drink to that
Let’s hope so. 14k doesn’t sound like a comfortable margin for 10k valid, and internal checks could trip them up if there’s a sudden change in how the SOS does theirs.
