Arkansas Voter Integrity Initiative, Inc., and Conrad Reynolds v. John Thurston

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the appellants’ claims challenging Arkansas’s ExpressVote and DS200 voting equipment. It held that the voting process satisfies the statutory and federal requirements because voters can review and correct selections on the device and can verify the printed ballot’s selections in written English before casting it. The court also upheld denial of recusal and a new trial because the record showed neither judicial bias nor a disputed factual issue requiring a jury.
