The future of a ballot initiative to restore abortion rights in Arkansas could come down to just who counts as a “sponsor” signing a piece of compliance paperwork about paid canvassers. But court filings last week suggest that Secretary of State John Thurston is applying the rules on that issue in very different and contradictory ways, preemptively striking down the abortion petition, while allowing the very same issue to slide for petitions regarding a casino license and medical marijuana, both of which also used paid canvassers.
As an Arkansan I would like to say: Fuck John Thurston. Fuck Tim Griffin. And especially fuck the Huckabee Nepo Baby.
As a former Arkansan, I’m hurt you didn’t mention Tom Cotton.
I’m sure being out of this hell hole softens that hurt a little but you’re absolutely right. Fuck Tom Cotton with rusty rebar.
