Evaluating the accuracy of casino amendment advertisements in circulation in Arkansas


Local Voters in Charge (LVC) is pushing Issue 2 on the November 2024 ballot in Arkansas to allow residents to have a say in casino licensing. If passed, the Pope County casino license would be revoked, and future licenses would require local voter approval. The group behind the amendment claims that voters in Pope County rejected a casino in 2018, and out-of-state lobbyists are influencing the decision. On the other hand, Investing in Arkansas argues that the Pope County Quorum Court and local mayors support the casino, and tax revenue from the casino would benefit the county. They also claim that approving Issue 2 would cost the state jobs and investments. However, it is important to note that jobs would be created by Cherokee Nation Entertainment, which is supporting Issue 2. Regardless of the claims made in political ads, the decision on Issue 2 will ultimately be in the hands of Arkansas voters. The controversy surrounding this issue highlights the importance of fact-checking and staying informed on both sides of the debate.
