News

Pull up a chair. Here’s what we actually think.

Same honesty as the cards: we don’t invent winners, and a win doesn’t raise a number. Pick a state in the header for that state’s ZIP lookup and candidate list.

Arkansas’s preferential primary (March 3) and primary runoff (March 31) 2026 are over. This page is the November 3 general (governor + statewide + U.S. Senate). A stamp is not a score. Numbers live on the card once research lands.

Ballot measures

Only measures with posted ballot language belong here. Confirm any Arkansas ballot measures on November 3, 2026 — confirm on sos.arkansas.gov and your county sample ballot. This demo does not invent YES/NO cards.

No scored Arkansas measure cards on this demo pass. Check sos.arkansas.gov and your county election office.

Policy tracker

Same published rubric as Florida and Texas: Christian 45 · Constitution 35 · GOP 20. The letter on a card is the 100-point total (80 A · 60 B · 40 C · 20 D · 19-under F). Public A–F is not a research-depth mark.

Arkansas’s preferential primary was March 3, 2026 and primary runoff March 31, 2026 (over). This page is the November 3, 2026 general. Governor and statewide executive offices are on this midterm. Arkansas is not a Florida closed primary.

General election

Elections

U.S. Senate, Governor, statewide executives, U.S. House, and General Assembly seats on the ballot, plus any posted amendments or locals on your county sample ballot.

How to vote

General election: Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Register by Monday, October 5, 2026 (in-person / mail postmark; no online registration). Early voting: October 19 – November 2, 2026.

Your real ballot is by full address and precinct, not ZIP. Official starting points: sos.arkansas.gov · How to vote · County voter registration & elections.

This is a values guide, not the county election office. Always confirm names on your sample ballot. Many county URLs in this demo are still unverified.

How scoring works

Same method in every live state. Higher weight means more influence on the 0–100 values score. The letter on a card is that total: 80–100 A · 60–79 B · 40–59 C · 20–39 D · 0–19 F. Callouts for Trump, Musk, and MAHA are badges, not extra points — so you can filter them without double-counting party loyalty. The DeSantis callout is Florida-only and does not appear on Arkansas cards.

Christian score 45 pts

Highest priority · faith & family policy

  • Explicit public faith in Jesus Christ (weighted heaviest)
  • Campaign/public life that centers Christ, Scripture & church
  • Pro-life / protection of the unborn
  • Religious liberty & conscience rights
  • Parental rights in education
  • Traditional marriage & family policy
  • Opposition to gender ideology in schools/sports
  • Conduct: not quarrelsome; correct opponents with gentleness (2 Timothy 2:24–25). Destroy arguments against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5) — that is not a license to be mean. Opened mean campaigning is a slight dock (−1 to −3), never a zero
  • Legislative votes help — but outspoken Christian identity beats quiet institutional conservatism

Constitution score 35 pts

Second priority · U.S. Constitution & liberty
(formerly labeled “paleo-conservative” — same ideas, clearer name)

  • Limited federal government & local control
  • Secure borders / immigration enforcement
  • Skepticism of endless foreign wars
  • Free enterprise; caution on globalist trade deals
  • Reading the Constitution as written
  • Protecting American culture & institutions from radical ideology
  • Fiscal restraint / low taxes
  • Health freedom / MAHA — live free of coercive government health & food policy; your family chooses

GOP score 20 pts

Third priority · Republican Party alignment

  • Republican Party registration / nomination
  • GOP platform & party organization alignment
  • Conservative legislative voting record
  • Support from mainstream Republican institutions

🦅 Trump callout

Shown when a candidate has a formal Trump endorsement, explicit MAGA / Trump-agenda campaigning, or a clear Trump-world alliance. Use the filter chip to show only these candidates. Does not add score points on its own.

🍊 DeSantis callout

Shown for candidates who preserve or advance Governor Ron DeSantis’s Florida agenda (parental rights, anti-DEI, free speech, free-state legislation) or who served as DeSantis-era partners. Badge only — does not add to the 100-point total. The DeSantis filter chip is on the Florida guide only.

🚀 Musk callout

Shown when a candidate is positive toward Elon Musk and/or his companies (Tesla, SpaceX, X free-speech ethos, DOGE-style efficiency). Trump-aligned alone is not enough (they have publicly clashed). Badge only — no automatic score points.

🥗 MAHA callout

Make America Healthy Again — clear MAHA Institute / MAHA Commission leadership, Stand for Health Freedom–style medical freedom, or campaign food-system integrity. Counts twice: 🥗 badge for filtering and raises the Constitution score (liberty from coercive health/food policy).

Important: This guide is editorial and values-based — not neutral journalism and not an official election authority. Scores use public records, Ballotpedia, campaign statements, and voting history where available. Always verify with your sample ballot and county elections office.

How current is this guide?

Candidate lists, scores, and notes are reviewed against public sources (Ballotpedia, campaign materials, county elections offices, and news reporting). Last content review: August 2026. Ballots can change — always confirm with your official sample ballot before voting.

ZIP codes & sample ballots

ZIP lookup estimates your county so statewide races load. Your ZIP can cover more than one city or school district — confirm on your sample ballot. Official ballots are by full address. Confirm names at sos.arkansas.gov and your county clerk directory (SOS PDF).
