AR Supreme Court Refuses to Allow Democracy Because of Technicality

mystiqueinthemist

The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled that the abortion initiative will not appear on November’s ballot.  The Court ruled 4-3 that supplementary paperwork was not in order.  It appears the incorrect person signed a document about paid canvassers; the person with the canvassing company signed it, as opposed to a person affiliated with the ballot initiative.  Also, some paperwork was submitted separately, as opposed to being submitted in one bundle.  It is disgraceful that Democracy has been denied to voters.  It appears that the Arkansas Supreme Court majority does not trust voters to make the decision they want them to make!
