LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A lawsuit asks a federal judge to require Arkansas
election officials to give absentee voters a chance to correct their ballots
before they’re rejected due to signature issues. The League of Women Voters of
Arkansas argues in the lawsuit filed Tuesday that Arkansas law regarding
absentee ballots disenfranchises voters because they’re not given any notice or
chance to cure any deficiencies. The lawsuit comes as a spike in absentee
ballots is expected due to the coronavirus. The governor last month signed an
executive order stating that concern about the virus was a valid excuse to vote
absentee.
