On Wednesday morning, a group of Anchorage residents requested a recount for the results of the general election, which Liz Snyder has won by 13 votes over Rep. Lance Pruitt in House District 27.
Snyder won 4,575 to 4,562 on Nov. 3, but the group asking for a recount needed to wait until the Division of Elections certified the election, which it did on Monday.
The group has finalized the signatures of 11 constituents who are requesting the recount. Jeff Garness, who lives in the district, is the chair of the group. Other signers on the request are Carolyn “Care” Clift, Robert Edward Clift, Donald Crafts, Susan M. Kent-Crafts, Lynn Vaughn, James Marks Vaughn, Margaret Nelson, Brad Campbell, Shannon Carte, and Lisa Garness. The group’s filing says they believe mistakes were made during the initial count.
They also say that the Division of Elections made last-minute changes in polling locations and did not notify voters, which caused confusion.
Representing the group for the recount in Juneau on Friday are attorneys Stacey Stone of Anchorage and Joe Geldhof of Juneau.
“I appreciate the support my neighbors have continued to show over the years and that they show even now. This seat was never about myself, but about supporting the community and neighbors, hence the reason why the community has stepped up. It’s important that everyone has been given the opportunity to not only vote, but that their votes are counted,” Pruitt said.
Alright, people are getting tired of the liberals running off in whatever direction they want. Time for change.
I sure agree that this election was a total fraud! There is no way that Dan Sullivan and Don Young legitimately won re-election. I demand a recount, and a recount, and a recount.
Joe, just do the right thing. That’s all we ask, here, at MRAK.
If what they claim is true, that the Division of Elections changed Polling Locations at that last minute, then Lt. Governor Meyer needs to resign immediately. The election process is broken at all levels and since he is in charge of the process in Alaska, he has failed.
What good will it do to recount the illegal mail in ballots, requiring no verification. Great effort, though; you gotta try to believe that it’s real.
Isn’t this within the percentage margin of victory that calls for an automatic recount by the state?
Where did people get the absurd idea that mail in absentee ballots need no verification??? The ballots are requested then require a form of identification like DL number, voter ID number, last 4 of SSN, signature, and, ordinarily, a witness signature. They actually require more than in person voting!! Also, it’s rather interesting that they’ve never before been challenged yet have been used in every single election for years!! OMG!! Maybe all the mail-in votes for Dunleavy were fraudulent!! Recount! Recall! Revolting!!?
Then we have Dominion Voting Services machines counting the votes in AK. We need to boot this sleazy and corrupt company out of AK.
If Dominion voting machines were used in this race then it would seem to be a given that the election is suspect. Also, an investigation into who authorized the use of Dominion in Alaska is warranted. The Governor & Secretary of State in Georgia are facing allegations of kickbacks /bribes from Dominion in exchange for awarding a last minute, 100 million dollar contract to the disgraced voting machine company. Follow the money.
Excellent points, FFF.
But sadly, your arguments will probably fall on deaf and hyper-partisan ears, for whom every shady and corrupt practice is OK as long as it favors and benefits “their side”. And we all know just exactly which “side” that is.
