一位联邦法官阻止阿肯色州执行限制投票倡议进程的新的选举法, A federal judge has blocked Arkansas from enforcing new election laws that restrict ballot initiative processes, citing constitutional concerns over voter access and free speech. 初步禁令中止了要求收集请愿书者提供详细宣誓书的规定,将选票限制在8年级的阅读水平,并允许对小错误的签名无效。 The preliminary injunction halts provisions requiring detailed affidavits from petition gatherers, limiting ballot titles to an eighth-grade reading level, and allowing signature invalidation for minor errors.
