Attorney General Tim Griffin issued the following statement after the unanimous decision by the Arkansas Supreme Court in Thurston v. League of Women Voters, upholding four state election laws relating to absentee ballots, voter identification, and polling-place electioneering restrictions:

“Today’s unanimous decision is a total victory for Arkansas voters and the security of our elections moving forward. With the Supreme Court reversing and dismissing the 2022 injunction by former Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen, Acts 249, 728, 736, and 973 of 2021—passed by the people’s elected representatives in the Arkansas General Assembly—can continue to be enforced to the benefit of Arkansans.

“I am thankful for the diligent work of Solicitor General Nicholas Bronni and Deputy Solicitor General Dylan Jacobs, which led to today’s unanimous decision. I also thank Dylan for his work to win a stay of the 2022 injunction.”
