Absentee voting has begun in Arkansas.

My elderly parents - who cannot vote in person due to various health issues - received their absentee ballots. While Trump could not lose Arkansas on purpose, it was important to them to vote for Biden. My father was a sucker during the Korean War and both their sons were suckers and retired Army officers.

I stopped after work to make sure they followed all the rules.

As in other states, there are two envelopes: one for the completed ballots (no naked ballots please) and another in which you place the ballot envelope, a signed voter statement, and a copy of the voter's driver's license or other government issued ID. I don't expect a lot of ratruckery (a recognized political term) in Arkansas but care must be taken to follow the instructions.
