The Arkansas Canvassing Compliance Commission (ACCC) and Cherokee Nation Entertainment have filed a lawsuit to block a proposed casino gambling amendment set for the November ballot. This amendment, backed by the group Local Voters in Charge and funded by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, aims to revoke the casino license awarded to Cherokee Nation for its Legends Resort and Casino in Pope County. Opponents of the amendment claim it misleads voters and violates several Arkansas laws regarding signature collection, alleging that canvassers used deceptive tactics to gather support. Additionally, the lawsuit argues that the amendment's wording is flawed and does not accurately inform voters of its implications. Cherokee Nation representatives assert that the local community supports the casino project, which promises significant economic benefits, while proponents of the amendment argue it empowers local control over casino development decisions. The legal battle is expected to escalate as both sides prepare for a contentious fight leading up to the election.
