The Alaska Division of Elections has sent a correction to voters in Anchorage’s District 15, advising them of a mistake the division made on the official election pamphlet, where on Page 19, the division or its contractor labeled candidate Mia Costello a Democrat.
Costello, a Republican, is running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Tom McKay. She’s running against two Democrats — Dustin Darden and Denny Wells.
The division workers evidently did not spot the error until the voter pamphlet was received by voters. It immediately corrected the online version of the information, but the one that was sent in the mail was the horse that had left the barn.
After the mistake was pointed out to the division, the Alaska Democratic Party then threatened to sue the Division of Elections if, on its corrected mail piece, it did not also list the Democrats who were appearing on the ballot. The division complied with the Democrats’ demand, and the mail piece has now been sent to district voters. Here’s how it looks:
In September, the Democrats also sued to keep a Democrat off of the ballot in Alaska, but they lost their lawsuit, which was a thinly veiled campaign attempt to protect Rep. Mary Peltola from having another Democrat on the November ballot.
Is the Division of Elections simply morbidly incompetent or utterly corrupt?
Probably both, like our entire state government.
It would be more tolerable if the cost to the public of this state government complex wasn’t so exorbitantly expensive.
Never, under any circumstances, vote for a public “servant” into any public office, or anywhere near a decision making position.
I’m voting both.
Dont be so hard on these serfs.
They are simply public school graduates doing the best they can to please their boss.
Oh by the way…haven’t heard from Nancy since she threw the towel in.
Me thinks that this was no mistake!!! The left just figured it would not get corrected.
Makes you wonder who got fired for this incompetence at the Alaska Division of Elections, doesn’t it?
Never mind…
Surprised? Nope!
Come on Mia, please sue the state and sue the individuals directly responsible for managing this election and the materials.
Our elections have been coopted by the bureaucratic tyrants that suck off the government tits their entire working life. There is no such thing as a “fair” election anymore because the people that run them and do the counting are in the socialist’s camp.
Great comment and the truth.
Are you sure things are really that bad at the Division of Elections right now? I guess no one remembers Charlot Thickstun and what a dumpster fire that place was with her in charge. A Google search hints that it only got worse for her after leaving the job.
