Charles Blackburn v. the Lonoke County Board of Election Commissioners Matthew Brown, Mickey "stubby" Stumbaugh, and…

Summary

The court declined to exercise original jurisdiction because Blackburn's claims did not fall within a recognized category of original actions and he could not invoke original and appellate jurisdiction simultaneously. It affirmed dismissal of the amended complaint because Blackburn failed to plead facts showing entitlement to relief or explaining how the signature requirement was unconstitutional as applied to him. The court modified the judgments to make the dismissals without prejudice.
