Rep. Mary Peltola didn’t return to her hometown of Bethel to vote in the general election. Instead, she was in line at Anchorage City Hall, with news cameras trained on her and her new downtown liberal friends on Monday, one day before the election ends.
Peltola gets her absentee ballots mailed to her at her Prominence Pointe address in a dressy neighborhood of south Anchorage. She ordered her primary absentee ballot for that address, but instead voted early. And she ordered her general election absentee ballot for that address. But it appears she voted early in person again.
She and Mayor Suzanne LaFrance were in the line at City Hall, shaking hands and taking selfies with voters. There was not an American flag pin or hat anywhere to be seen.
Nick Begich, who is challenging Peltola for the one Alaska seat in Congress, voted at the Division of Elections office on Gambell Street on Monday.
