A congressional committee concluded that excessive expenditures and irregularities occurred in the Arkansas Democratic primaries. It found conclusive evidence of overspending and fraud at polls, but not enough to alter results. Total spending across five candidates reached 321135.22, with Fulbright at 74190. The report urged primaries be federally supervised like general elections and noted improvised ballot boxes aided fraud risk. Fulbright led the primary and beat Adkins in the runoff by about 32,000 votes.
