The Arkansas Supreme Court today set oral arguments for Oct. 13 in the Family Council Action Committee’s lawsuit challenging Lt. Gov. Bill Halter’s proposed constitutional amendment to create a state-run lottery to fund college scholarships.
The Family Council contends the wording of the ballot question is inaccurate, incomplete and misleading. Halter says the wording, which was approved by Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, is clear.
The Family Council wants the court to strike the measure from the ballot or rule that any votes cast on the measure cannot be counted.
Early voting for the Nov. 4 election starts Oct. 20.
