Court blocks Irby ballot bid in state senate race
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that state Democratic officials lacked authority to place W. O. Irby’s name on the July 2 ballot for state senator in the 28th district. The majority held party actions are ministerial and that the senate alone can judge its members, reversing a prior decision and prompting dissents from Associate Justice Carl Greenhaw and Chief Justice Smith. The court also prepared to rule on a challenge to a major provision of the 1941 Gross Receipts tax law regarding certificates of indebtedness for delinquent sales taxes.
