On April 18, the Arkansas Secretary of State filed an answer in U.S. District Court, in Libertarian Party of Arkansas v Thurston, e.d., 4:19cv-214.  This is the lawsuit filed by the Libertarian Party on March 28, 2019, against the new law requiring a party to submit a petition signed by 3% of the last gubernatorial vote to get on the ballot.  The old law required 10,000 signatures; the new requirement for 2020 is 26,746 signatures.

The fact that the answer has been filed quickly is helpful for moving the case along rapidly.  It is likely that the matter of injunctive relief might be resolved during May 2019.
