The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “The county board of election commissioners is required to “prepare official absentee ballots and deliver them to the county clerk for mailing to all qualified applicants as soon as practicable before the last day on which the ballot will be counted but in any event not less than twenty-five (25) days before any election.” Ark. Code Ann. [§] 7-5-407. Mertz v. State, 318 Ark. 239 , 884 S.W.2d 264 (1994). By the calculations of undersigned, the 25 day deadline will not be passed if this cause is decided by October 12, 2000, same being a regular day of decision for the Court. Appellant prays that the scheduling order provide for the completion of this appeal in time for decision on or before October 12, 2000.”
