“Lawsuit Filed Over Arkansas’ Revamped Voter ID Law”

VOA:

An Arkansas resident asked a judge Wednesday to strike down a new state law requiring voters show photo identification before casting a ballot, arguing the measure causes the same problems as a nearly identical state voter ID law struck down four years ago.

The lawsuit filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court is challenging the measure’s constitutionality ahead of its first enforcement statewide in Arkansas’ May 22 primary. Early voting for the primary is set to begin May 7.
