LITTLE ROCK – Following the unanimous dismissal on May 25 of a challenge to Arkansas’s congressional district lines by a three-judge panel in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Attorney General Tim Griffin issued the following statement:
“On May 25, a panel of three federal judges dismissed a challenge to Arkansas’s congressional districts and confirms what we already knew: Our congressional districts do not violate the United States Constitution and are legal.
“This is the second time in less than a month that a court has dismissed a challenge to Arkansas’s congressional districts. Just two weeks ago, the Pulaski County Circuit Court dismissed a companion state court challenge to Arkansas’s congressional districts. And on May 25 unanimous opinion means that a third challenge filed this week—that simply regurgitates the same tired allegations as the complaint dismissed on May 25—is likewise doomed to fail.”
