In 2018, Arkansas voters voted on Issue 5, which would raise the minimum wage to $11 by 2021. Despite being a deeply Republican state, and re-electing their Republican governor by 35%, Issue 5 passed overwhelmingly, with almost 70% voting yes. 
This second map shows how Trump in 2020 performed relative to the initiative. The initiative outperformed Trump statewide by 9%, especially in the northwest and delta. It also performed well in southern Arkansas. This goes to show how popular minimum wage increases really are.
