Arkansas Supreme Court denies stay of ruling in Senate District 26 special election
The Arkansas Supreme Court on Wednesday (Nov. 13) denied an effort by the office of Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin to stay a lower court’s ruling requiring a new special election date in Senate District 26.
The court also denied an effort by Griffin’s office to consolidate the Senate District 26 matter with a House District 70 lower court ruling that also mandated a new special election date.
Pending any new legal moves to block the lower court’s ruling, the Supreme Court decision requires a new date be set for Senate District 26.
“I am disappointed by the rulings and will continue to vigorously defend the Governor and Secretary of State,” Griffin said in a statement.
