Voters are filling two supreme court seats in two separate nonpartisan elections. Neither seat’s current occupant is seeking a new term, so at first glance it may look like the cycle will add two fresh faces to the court. But of the six candidates running for these two seats, four are already sitting justices on the court—they just want to shift into different seats than their own.
If justices who already sit on the supreme court win either of those seats, they would then need to resign from their current positions. This would create vacancies that would be filled by the state’s staunchly conservative governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a reshuffling that’s poised to accelerate the court’s shift toward a solidly right-wing majority.
Wow, seems like highly unethical collusion.
What a fucking joke. Game the system, make sure Noone trusts it and are apathetic.
i live here :(
it is really quite pretty here but i’d love if it were just less stupid sometimes
I lived in Arkansas almost my whole life. Moved out in 2021.
Arkansas is beautiful. The are some cool places in Arkansas. But overall, not great in a lot of ways.
Arkansas Supreme Court is corrupt, got it.
This situation is MUCH more Acceptable to me as a Republican Father with two daughters then the Alternative of having a BLACK ROCKET SCIENTIST SLASH CITY PLANNER leading us! I’m also NOT Racist!
