The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly will take up a resolution on Thursday that would direct the borough clerk to explore and report back on a plan to move the borough to mail-in elections, as they are conducted in Anchorage and in Juneau for local elections.
In Anchorage and Juneau, mail-in elections have resulted in local elections being swung to the far left. Both Anchorage and Juneau assemblies are now effectively ruled by Marxists or soft-Marxist majorities.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough clerk would be directed to set up a task force in alignment with Get Out the Native Vote and League of Women Voters, the resolution says.
The resolution is being offered by the presiding officer of the borough, Assemblywoman Savannah Fletcher, who is also the leftist running for State Senate after abandoning her run for borough mayor. She is an attorney with the radical Northern Justice Project.
The assembly meetings begin at 6 p.m. in the Mona Lisa Drexler Assembly Chambers, located in the Juanita Helms Administration Center at 907 Terminal Street, Fairbanks. Those wishing to testify can submit comments in writing to [email protected] or can wait to testify in person at the meeting. To testify, sign up by calling the clerk at 907-459-1401.

The draft resolution is here:
Fletcher is also leading the charge to suppress the free speech rights of conservative Assemblywoman Barbara Haney. The ethics complaint against Haney for having authored an opinion column will be heard at the July 25 meeting, per the decision made by Fletcher.
Will they be that stupid? Probably.
The AKGOP could actually learn something from Fletcher. She never quits until she gets what she wants.
You can smell the election irregularities, ballot harvesting and ballot box stuffing from here.
Mail in is such a safe, secure, and easy system. We should also switch to 100% mail in drug tests, think about how convenient that would be for people.
Why bother with mail in? Why not internet voting? Or Facebook? Or a pollster in front of Fred Meyer? Or in a homeless camp? Tyrants don’t care about the will of the people, only themselves and their power. This egotistical narcissistic sociopath should be removed to somewhere far remote. Perhaps to Norilisk, Siberia?
Mail in voting is a solution looking for a problem.

Seriously, Anchorage went mail in voting, and the number of people voting did not go up enough to justify the additional cost. Forget about lack of security, the cost far outweigh the benefits (that actually did not even show up.)
.
Further to that, I do not want more people voting. I want more INFORMED people voting. Having a ballot show up unrequested and people who have zero interest in the election will vote for whomever has the most signs, or the person their neighbor likes, or the candidate with the catchiest jingle in their ads. If you cannot be bothered to actually show up on election day and vote, odds are you have no real interest in any of the candidates or issues.
.
None of that is criticism of absentee voting. When someone takes the time to request an absentee ballot they are indicating they have knowledge of the candidates/issues.
