Alaska’s elections are now an even bigger mess than they usually are due to the adoption of ranked-choice voting codified by Proposition 2. I wager few will be able to figure out how to vote in upcoming elections. And if they do, even fewer will trust the outcome. Apparently, Alaska hasn’t gotten the memo because elections are not supposed to be confusing. It all started in 2019 and ended with the people’s approval of Proposition 2 in the November 2020 election with a narrow margin .
In a state where the June special primary election was a jungle primary, signature verification isn’t codified, and voter rolls are notoriously dirty; this is the last thing Alaskans need. Notably, a Judicial Watch investigation shows that Alaska enjoys the fine status of being one of eight states “showing statewide voter registration rates exceeding 100 percent.” There are allegedly 1.8 million extra registered voters nationwide. Proposition 2 Violates Alaska Constitution
First of all, Proposition 2 (or the Fair Representation Act ) violates Alaska’s Constitution because it was bundled with another initiative to address “dark money” in elections. Alaska’s Constitution stipulates that bills should address one issue at a time. Voters can then vote on measures separately, which is an obvious advantage if integrity is the goal.
As Section 13 explains, such separation helps to “safeguard the integrity of the legislative process.” Alaska Constitution/Article ll, Section 13 In fact, Lieutenant Governor Kevin Meyer correctly denied certification of the initiative on August 30, 2019, because it violated Article ll, Section 13 of the Alaska Constitution . Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer denies certification of initiative/August 30, 2019 Meyer’s denial was affirmed by Attorney General Kevin Clarkson, where he explained why voters are robbed of “their voices” when multiple policy choices are bundled.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
