(Editor's note: The following statement was provided as a follow up to claims made last week by Jennifer Korte's Republican challenger Joe Hackler, who stated Korte did not vote in the 2020 election).
The truth is I did vote in the 2020 election, and I have consistently participated in the electoral process. I have always taken elections seriously long before I ever decided to run for public office.
Mistakes happen. What happened to me is one reason why I am so committed to election reforms to ensure the integrity of our elections.
My opponent has been able to attack me for something that is not true because of inaccuracies in the record-keeping at the Clerk’s office. There is too much at stake in our elections to allow errors, as was the case with my records, or worse outright fraud. We need to do better.
Jennifer Korte, Republican candidate for House District 112
