Fairbanks voters line up on Sunday; Interior Republicans set to party on Tuesday night

10
Fairbanks voters line up on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 3, 2024.

In the farthest north major city in North America, voters took advantage of a mild-weather Sunday, when temperatures were in the mid-20s, to line up and mark their ballots in the general election. Some of them waited in line for an hour before they could start the voting process.

In fact, when the Fairbanks election office opened at noon, there were already 200 people in line. The Sunday early voting went until 4 p.m., and will start again Monday at 8 a.m., ending at 5 p.m.

After that comes Tuesday, Election Day.

The Fairbanks-based Interior Republicans will be holding an election watch party on Tuesday evening, starting at 6 p.m. at the Westmark Hotel’s Gold Room.

Voters were equally enthusiastic in Wasilla on Sunday, where the line was occasionally as long as 300 people. In Anchorage at the Bogard Road election office, well over 100 people were lined up outside the building at 25th Ave. and Gambell St. at about 2 p.m.

  1. Interior Republicans better have a handle on mail-in ballots from bogus addresses before the party starts.
    .
    That goes for Exterior Republicans too.
    .
    President Trump could still lose, after election night, to mail-in ballots sent from bogus addresses.

    • Send me your name – (first and last) and city, at [email protected] and I will look it up for you and send you an email back. I can only tell you if your ballot was received. No ballots have been counted yet, so I can’t tell you if your ballot was counted. Thanks – sd

  2. Suzanne; How are you going to check to see if a persons vote has been received? Isn’t that something that any registered voter should be able to do?
