Merry Christmas!

From all of us at Family Council and the Education Alliance, merry Christmas!

As we enjoy this wonderful time of year, I hope we will all take time to reflect on the true reason we celebrate Christmas: The birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”  Luke 2:8-14 (KJV)

Arkansas Ranked Fourth in Election Integrity: Heritage Foundation Report

Recently the Heritage Foundation released its Election Integrity Scorecard ranking Arkansas fourth in the nation in election integrity.

The scorecard evaluated state laws and practices surrounding elections. It also ranked all 50 states based on how well they protect the security and integrity of the election process.

Overall, Arkansas scored 78 out of 100 possible points on the scorecard.

The scorecard identified a few areas where Arkansas’ election laws could be improved. However, it seems Arkansas has excellent safeguards in place to ensure that our elections are fair and honest.
