Fight over April Anchorage vote continues

Tuesday is the night the Anchorage Assembly will vote to recertify the results of the April 3 municipal election. According to KSKA 91.1 FM, election board members will answer questions from assembly members, but there will be no public testimony.

Although the hand count of Anchorage ballots is done, the fight is not over. A 10-voter group responsible for the recount plans to release a report on its findings. It will, they stress, detail the numerous errors suffered during the election and the do-over vote count.

A member of the group, Mel Green of Bent Alaska, writes the following:

Green and other members of the 10-voter group will make the report available when the numbers have been crunched. In the meantime, anyone concerned with the lack of integrity surrounding the April 3 election and the behavior of the Assembly can join the group Alaskans for Election Integrity on its Facebook page.
