Indiana moved up to No. 3 in the AP college football poll for its highest ranking in program history and Texas was among five teams entering the Top 25 after eight ranked teams lost over the weekend. See where other teams landed. https://t.co/7dTTUiT9QR

@samychri This is absolutely true. Often it takes an outsider to notice or appreciate something that those who live here take for granted. I think about that any time I listen to Dvorak's Symphony from the New World.

It's a big day for Arkansas. The statue of country music icon Johnny Cash will be unveiled at the U.S. Capitol. @AlexHouseThomas will cover the event, and a livestream of the ceremony begins at 10 a.m. Central at @ArkansasOnline.

One final look at the DNC from Chicago.

Notably, the court didn't weigh-in on the question of whether an agent can sign statements on behalf of a ballot campaign, or that all statements must be signed by the sponsor. That was the issue that caused the medical marijuana and casino amendment to intervene.

Arkansas Supreme Court sides with SOS John Thurston in his rejection of the abortion amendment in 4-3. Says AFLG needed to submit their paid canvasser affidavit the day they turned in their signatures.

.@ArkDems’ DNC delegation have voted UNANIMOUSLY to back @KamalaHarris.

“At this critical time in our nation’s history, the Vice President is prepared, poised, and right out of the gate demonstrating how strong she will be as our nominee.”

A lot — and I want to stress A LOT — of Arkansans had something to say after @JoeBiden announced his decision to end his re-election bid.

Ok, Arkansas for Limited Government has just now filed their lawsuit against Secretary of State John Thurston. There are two separate lawsuits arguing Thurston shouldn't have rejected the abortion amendment. AFLG and from a registered Voter in Cedarville.

[Neal Earley @neal_earley]

Deleting this tweet. With a correction. Appears the lawsuit filed by Oscar Stilley, a voter from Cedarville. The lawsuit argues Arkansans for Limited Government followed the law that Thurston used to reject their petitions and also that law is unconstitutional.

[Neal Earley @neal_earley]

Arkansans for Limited Government responds to SOS office today. Sent a letter to Secretary John Thurston, refuting his claims they didn't comply with requirement to have a list of canvassers and affidavit.

[Neal Earley @neal_earley]

My story.

[Steve Goff @sgoff12]

Secretary of State John Thurston has rejected the petition for a proposed constitutional amendment that would expand abortion access in Arkansas. @neal_earley has more at @ArkansasOnline. #arnews #arpx

Statement from Arkansans for Limited Government, the group behind the amendment, "Our legal team is reviewing the letter from the Secretary of State. We will have more to say shortly."

Volunteers for the constitutional amendment to legalize abortion in Arkansas gather in the Capitol waiting for the petitions to arrive. Today's the deadline to turn them in. #ArPol
