Arkansas Decertifies Green Party

HeadlineAug 28, 2009

The Green Party of Arkansas has sued in federal court, challenging the state of Arkansas’s decision to decertify the party, a move that will result in the Greens losing access to the ballot in the next election cycle. Arkansas decertified the Green Party, even though one of its candidates won a seat in the State House of Representatives last year. The state said the party was decertified because the Green Party’s presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney, failed to win more than three percent of the vote in the 2008 election.
