What Went Down During The May 24 Primary Elections
With not quite 40 percent of the expected vote in, John Boozman is ahead in the Republican primary for Arkansas Senate, with 58 percent of the vote so far. Jake Bequette has 22 percent of the vote, and Jan Morgan, a former journalist and gun range owner, has 18 percent. I haven’t written much about Morgan yet, but she has been all-in on the Big Lie — and even took a bus of Arkansans to D.C. ahead of the Jan. 6 rally. She is unlikely to win this race, but she’ll probably maintain a platform as a far-right public figure in the state.
