Most voters support measures that would ensure elections are honest and that results are reported quickly, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll.
The national telephone and online survey found that 63% of Likely U.S. Voters want a federal law requiring all votes be counted and the final results be reported within 12 hours of polls closing on Election Day.
Just 23% disagree with the need for a federal law, while another 14% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
In Alaska, the Division of Elections is on Day 14 of ballot counting for the election that ended Nov. 5. The division has until Nov. 20 to finish its work.
According to Rasmussen, 65% of respondents said that investigations of election disputes should include forensic ballot audits and 59% said federal election laws should require paper ballots.

Who has the authority to request an audit of the 2024 State Elections? Specifically the results of the RCV, which I believe will win with new found “YES” votes …
The Rasmussen Reports Poll is great and nice and all, but it doesn’t mean diddly-sh*t if it isn’t put into actual action and incorporated into State Election Laws.
Actions always speak louder than words …
Hazaa! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
That should be a given! Less opportunity for fraud.
One person one vote, rank choice voting is giving the voter multiple votes and then they get taken away by the system and used the way the system wants.
You know longer control your vote as a voter the system controls it that should be illegal.
People protect the things that are important to them. A parent will protect a child, a family will protect their heirlooms, a business will secure their inventory.

Elections are no different. The results of elections are important, very important. But, for some reason, protecting them, ensuring they are secure and the results are valid does not seem to be important. Well, it is not important at all to one side of the political aisle. (Hint: it is the one fighting to remove barriers to cheating.)

Election integrity laws do not disenfranchise voters. A lack of integrity laws is what really disenfranchises voters.
Perhaps the first thing to be done in newly sworn in 119th Congress is to reintroduce H.R. 4460 that the House had recently passed. The intent of H.R. 4460 is to ‘ensure that only eligible American citizens may participate in elections for federal office’. Who, beside die hard democrats, could object to insisting on America First in our elections? We must also move to same day, in-person voting and paper ballots. Absentee ballots must be received by noon of Election Day. State Election officials must also adhere to the laws that their duly elected Legislature passed. No exceptions can be authorized.
So, Alaska legislators, let’s do our part and clean up our embarrassing elections by passing legislation so that we can have elections we can be proud of.
It should be up to the states to decide this. That puts the people who write the laws closer to the people who are affected by it.
The only people who don’t demand election integrity are crooked politicians and the scum that controls them!
Our elections in our state are abominable. I do not believe RSV was voted into place legitimately four years ago, and given the pretty universal vocal sentiment statewide against it, I do not believe there are that many real votes against BM2. It’s a sham funded by Soros and his dark money buddies.
Need to do an audit for the whole state. See if the numbers match up. I think the core is rotten on this fruit.
I agree, a full forensic audit needs done. Fairbanks DOE has a new manager and unfortunately shes incompetent. The election workers are about 98-99% democrats and they do not like having conservatives in the “den of thieves”. FOIA requests need done as well!
Along with this we need congress to address the problem of states using census data that includes non-citizens to give them numbers to determine how many representatives they get in congress. Utterly ludicrous!
It’s pretty easy to figure out that ak elections were flawed after attaching voter registration to the pfd application. Go after the false pfd applies and remove them from our voting rolls.
Move Primaries back 30 days into July. Certify primary one month earlier than today and print the ballots one month earlier. Mail out (legit) absentee ballots and require that they be post-marked no later than Oct 18 and received not later than election day. Run the paper through the machines on Election Day and report the numbers at 99%. If Atqasuk can’t ‘call it in’ by 10:00 p.m., that place is worse off than when I worked there 20+ years ago.
If that doesn’t work for you, do it like FL does. They have the most efficient report system in the country today. If they don’t do paper ballots, then have the voter print off their ballot after pressing the screen selections and have THE VOTER “confirm it on the spot” and drop it in the box on the way out the door.
