Secretary of State John Thurston found that they did not submit a statement identifying paid canvassers by name or a signed statement showing that the paid canvassers were given a required handbook and explanations of state rules.

In a letter to the group's representative, Thurston wrote that because of these omissions, signatures collected by paid canvassers are invalid.

This leaves the petition 3,322 signatures short of the required number.

A new statement by Arkansans for Limited Government has now been added to the article.

"The Secretary of State, and the public, knows that we provided the state with a list of our paid canvassers and all of the required information associated with their employment. They know this because the list we provided to the Secretary of State was FOIA’d and released by our opposition in an attempt to intimidate our supporters. Asserting now that we didn’t provide required documentation regarding paid canvassers is absurd and demonstrably, undeniably incorrect."
