Arkansas ranks low in a new report comparing election integrity in different states in the U.S. The Democracy Initiative Education Fund published the report “Storming State Capitols,” on Wednesday looking at ten factors contributing to election fairness. Out of 51 states, Arkansas ranked second to last in the way it conducts elections, with only Mississippi ranked lower.
The Democracy Initiative Education Fund is a consortium of 75 civil rights, environmental, labor and civic organizations. The report based the conclusions on public data, political scientists, state laws and problems reported by voters.
