Group seeks amendment to require paper ballots in Arkansas elections

A ballot committee called Restore Election Integrity Arkansas is proposing an Arkansas constitutional amendment aimed at requiring all elections in Arkansas to be conducted with paper ballots and removing language in the Arkansas Constitution that permits elections to be conducted by voting machines.

Conrad Reynolds of Conway is the Restore Election Integrity Arkansas' committee's chief operating officer, according to the committee's statement of organization filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission. John Bailey of Little Rock is the committee's chairman, Jan Bailey of Little Rock is the committee's chairwoman and Will Huff of Conway is the committee's treasurer.

Reynolds, who lost a primary challenge Republican U.S. Rep. French Hill in 2022, said Thursday that the proposed constitutional amendment is a proposal from his Arkansas Voter Integrity Initiative, a 501(c) (4) non-profit group.

"The 2020 election has no bearing on what we are doing here," Reynolds said, referring to the 2020 presidential election.
