In this explosive episode of Arkansas 1st Reports, host Kandi Cox sits down with Laurie Gross, former Searcy County Election Commissioner, to unpack how Arkansas's only paper ballot county—with a flawless 100% audit match—was sanctioned and banned for 14 years by the Arkansas State Board of Election Commissioners. Laurie shares how a fully legal $100 lease for ballot monitoring equipment became the basis for accusations of fraud, how state officials refused to allow her to testify, and why this scandal is about more than just her team—it’s about the war on transparent, auditable elections in Arkansas.
Listeners will hear about the state's lack of due process, failed accountability, and what Laurie believes is a spiritual battle for truth and integrity in our election system. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation.
