Recent developments in Arkansas have seen Attorney General Tim Griffin reject several ballot measures, including those proposed by the League of Women Voters, citing concerns such as exceeding the 8th-grade reading level. This rejection is part of a broader trend in GOP-led states, where new laws are being enacted to impose stricter requirements on citizen ballot initiatives. Lawmakers across the nation are responding by seeking to introduce more regulations on how voters can bring issues to the ballot, raising concerns about access to democratic processes.
