AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Arkansas' primary runoff elections
Bryan Norris and Kim Hammer, both Trump supporters, face off after splitting about 68% of GOP primary votes; the winner will challenge Democrat Kelly Grappe in the general election.
- On Tuesday, Arkansas voters choose the Republican nominee for Arkansas Secretary in a runoff between Army veteran Bryan Norris and state Sen. Kim Hammer.
- Both candidates support President Donald Trump's election agenda, yet they differ on implementation; Norris advocates for full hand-counting, while Hammer authored a 2023 law requiring hand-counted ballots to be compatible with tabulation equipment.
- Endorsements from the state's Republican establishment, including Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Sen. Tom Cotton, back Hammer, while Norris is supported by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
- Advancing from the runoff, the winner will face Democrat Kelly Grappe, who secured her party's nomination unopposed, in the general election.
- Regardless of the outcome, the Republican nominee holds a significant advantage; it has been 20 years since Arkansas elected a Democrat as Arkansas Secretary and no Democrat has won statewide office since 2010.
