In April 2001, the boundaries of Arkansas's four congressional districts were adjusted slightly by the Democratic legislature to meet the equal-population standard. Because it didn't split counties, the legislature's plan had the highest population difference in the nation between the districts--6,698 people--but it also contained a backup provision that if a court found the plan invalid, it would be repealed and 4,400 voters would be shifted between districts; a court challenge did not materialize. Governor Mike Huckabee, lacking the votes to prevent an override of his veto, let the plan become law without his signature.
