Appeals court issues administrative stay in Arkansas ‘wet signature’ lawsuit

Arkansas officials can again implement a new “wet signature” rule that limits the use of electronic signatures on voter registration forms after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit granted a temporary administrative stay Friday evening. State lawmakers in May approved an emergency rule drafted by the Arkansas Board of Election Commissioners that requires a “wet signature,” meaning signing with a pen, on voter registration applications unless they’re completed at state agencies, like the DMV.
