Presumed winner of the House District 27 race Democrat Liz Snyder has asked the court to eliminate some of her neighbors from a lawsuit they filed that is challenging the outcome of the election, where she is the apparent winner by 11 votes.
In a court filing, Snyder said Jeff Garness, Lisa Garness, Shannon Carte, Donald Crafts, Susan M. Kent-Crafts, and Carolyn “Care” Clift do not have standing to file an election contest.
Snyder said that there needs to be 10 people filing the challenge to the election, and that the lawsuit only has six.
Snyder wants Rep. Lance Pruitt, her opponent, to be the only one named on the challenge the group of six constituents is making.
It’s unclear why Snyder plans to spend money to remove constituents from the lawsuit. But it may make it easier for her legal team to personalize the lawsuit to Pruitt, making it more political in nature before the court. Alaska courts are generally more sympathetic to Democrats in political disputes.
At the same time, Snyder has filed a separate motion in the case to dismiss it entirely.
Oral argument in the case are scheduled for Jan. 8.
Legal moves like these is precisely why we don’t want this slime in the legislature.
This is what dirt doctors do.
It’s easy to see why Miss Popularity won an election when she’s so likeable and honest. Winning hearts and minds comes naturally I suppose.
Proof that Democrats will do anything to gain power and they don’t care who they smear or whose lives they ruin.
I would like to know where it says that there have to be 10 people to file a lawsuit. As far as I know there only needs to be 2 people in a lawsuit – the plaintiff and the defendant. I guess if Snyder is arguing there aren’t enough people to warrant the filing, then all Garness and company have to do is get 4 more people to join the lawsuit and amend their caption and their complaint. Should be fairly basic and easy to do.
She would have lost in a normal year, without all the mail in corruption.
Covid’s been a blessing for the Democrats across the country …
They should get on their knees & Thank their Goddess
