Committees registered to support or oppose Issue 2, and what they reported to Arkansas Ethics Commission ballot/legislative question committee filings (arkansasethics.com, 'Ballot Question Filings'); Secretary of State 'Financial Disclosure' (ethics-disclosures.sos.arkansas.gov) holds candidate/PAC filers only. Checked 2026-10-21.
Before comparing the sides: each committee’s figures come from its own latest report, so they can cover different dates. Some committees work on more than one measure or other campaigns, and their totals include all of it. A side with no registered committee can still have supporters. How much a side raised says nothing about whether the measure is a good idea.

A rhetorical technique is about wording, not about whether a measure is a good idea or an argument is true. Ballot wording is written under each state’s own rules, and official arguments by the people the state names. All Arkansas measures →
