Arkansas Senate candidate Jake Bequette’s name has been printed incorrectly on thousands of ballots and state election officials are refusing to correct it. The ballots in several counties say “Jack Bequette” instead of “Jake Bequette.”
Bequette has now released audio of his campaign calling election officials to have the issue corrected — and being told that they will not fix it because voting has already started.
Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, Bequette said that the ballot issue is part of the “establishment political machine” trying to “steal another election.”
“The voter fraud that occurred in the 2020 election was absolutely egregious, and now we’re seeing the establishment political machine try and steal another election here in Arkansas,” Bequette said. “For weeks, statewide election officials have known that my name was going to be listed incorrectly on ballots here in Arkansas, but they refused to act, correct the ballots, notify the voting public, or even notify my campaign.”
Bequette continued, “That’s what an intentional, political cover-up of voter fraud looks like. It’s disgusting, and it should be fixed immediately. I’m calling for Secretary of State John Thurston and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge to fully investigate this fraud and find a solution that will ensure voters across Arkansas are able to confidently participate in this election process and vote for a true conservative warrior.”

Reminder: Pantywaist Asa Hutchison is Governor. He's no doubt involved.
Maybe in Georgia we can have ballots with Stazi Abrams or Stacy Abrahamson and see how that goes. Perfectly legal I'm sure. /sarc
And that woman in charge wouldn’t correct the ballot even though they had been aware of the mistake for a while. Bannon played her recorded conversation with Bequette on War Room yesterday.
Probably one more attempt at fraud. There’s no such person as JACK Bequette, so those ballots don’t count.
Jake Bequette was on Steve Bannon’s War Room yesterday afternoon and explained the situation.
When he found out about the supposed error and attempted to correct it, the various Supervisor of Elections told him there was no way the error could be corrected because the election information was sent off to some company in Oklahoma to program the election equipment and once that happens no changes can occur.
Clever way to eliminate an opponent. Just pay off the printer(or threaten them)
If he has that, there should be no problem. But I could see at Democrat making the case: Well, a vote for Jake, is not a vote for Jack."
Wasn’t Murkowski a write-in candidate at one time? Weren’t misspellings allowed for that election?

Makes as much sense as having Colorado track my California vote.

BallotTrax says that voters’ information is encrypted, and the company works with private security experts and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to keep its system safe.
Based in Denver, BallotTrax is also used by Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina and Georgia, as well as individual counties in ten other states.

Exactly, Jake Bequette made this exact point, elections in Arkansas and probably elsewhere are not run by the states, they are run by outside companies, it would be worth looking into who these companies are and who is financing them.
It wasn’t a mistake this guy’s name was misspelled on the ballots, he’s closing in a Republican Establishment in a deep red state, McConnell and the Establishment are trying to sabotage his campaign.
One reason the Republicans are not jumping on the 2000 Mules Movie is they are engaged similar voting fraud.
Good point. Democrats will try to nullify those votes if he doesn't do that.
Am I the only one who sees this as a positive thing for Jake? Look at all the free publicity he’s getting, all the name recognition he’s getting even if they did spell his name wrong. He’s in the news, what’s wrong with that?

Because those votes may be deemed invalid.
Who is JACK Bequette? If he wins, will he go to Congress, or will Jake?
I was thinking Jake should immediately change his legal name to Jake Jack Bequette. Tomorrow.
