Arkansas Lawsuit Filed Against New, Severe Distribution Requirement for Initiatives

On March 10, a state court lawsuit was filed against the new Arkansas law that requires statewide initiatives to contain a high number of signatures from each of 50 counties. King v Thurston, Pulaski County Circuit Court, 60cv-23-1816. The lead plaintiff is an Arkansas State Senator, Bryan King. The League of Women Voters of Arkansas is also a plaintiff.

The State Constitution says that initiatives need signatures from 15 counties, so obviously the legislature would have needed to initiate a constitutional amendment if it wanted signatures from 50 counties. But the legislature did not pass a constitutional amendment; it merely passed a statute. This lawsuit is very likely to win.
