  1. Hopefully Alaskans will ignore the mail in fraud conspiracies pushed in the Lower 48 and trust the system to work. Everyone should have equal access to voting and mail in voting has been used fairly in Alaska for generations. Encourage people to vote, it is your civic duty.

    • No, as always Frank, you are either wrong or are lying. Or both.
      .
      Mail-in voting, except for VERY strictly controlled and isolated instances, for example for literal absentee voting, is nothing but another corrupt scheme for those in power, and for those who most seek power, to intermediate and corrupt the voting process to their advantage. Which is exactly why you, being the corrupt shill for the ruling class and the neo-Bolshevik revolutionaries, support it.

  2. Yes Frank. I would encourage Churches to ask as their congregations to form voter assistance CLUBS that are not Affiliated with the Church. The clubs could assist the elderly, and teach the youngsters the value of voting. The young adults could could provide the logistics. The African American Churches have been doing this for Generations,—Come on Alaska, DIVERSIFY. MAGA.
