LITTLE ROCK — The State of Arkansas now ranks number one in election integrity, according to the latest scorecard from The Heritage Foundation. Arkansas Secretary of State Cole Jester made that announcement on Tuesday.
In a news release, the Secretary of State’s office said prior to Jester’s administration, the state had been ranked No. 8 for election integrity. The new ranking comes just months after the legislative session concluded, where – with the help of Jester – a handful of bills were signed into law by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. kAm“pD $64C6E2CJ @7 $E2E6[ x 92G6 D2:5 7C@> 52J @?6 H6 H@F=5 92G6 E96 >@DE D64FC6 6=64E:@?D :? E96 4@F?ECJ[” D2:5 y6DE6C :?
