Two Anchorage Election Commission meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, April 16. Both meetings will be held at the MOA Election Center at 619 E. Ship Creek Avenue, Door D, which is on the east side of the building. The meetings are scheduled as follows:
— 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. – Election Commission Work session regarding the April 2 Regular Election.
— 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. or until complete – Election Commission Public Session of Canvass and Adoption of the Election Commission Report regarding the April 2 Regular Election. The Commission will review preliminarily challenged ballot envelopes and will make final decisions on the adjudication of challenged ballots for the April 2 Regular Election.
As of April 10, a total of 71,827 ballots were received in the citywide election, for a total voter turnout of just over 30%. Election officials will continue counting for the next couple of days as ballots arrive via mail. All ballots must be received by April 16.
As things stand, it appears that far-left Assemblywoman Suzanne LaFrance is poised to outpace her conservative counterpart, incumbent Mayor Dave Bronson. LaFrance enjoys a slight lead over Bronson in the mayor’s race, but since neither candidate will garner 45% of the vote – the minimum to claim victory – the contest is headed to a run-off mayoral election on May 14.
In other contests, three hard-left, incumbent school board candidates are comfortably ahead, and it looks like voters have approved about $124 million in new bond debt for schools and various city projects.
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
Disconcerting to some is the fact that many of the mail-in ballots were returned as “undeliverable.” On March 12, Anchorage mailed out 207,000 ballots. According to Acting Election Administrator William Northrop, approximately 19,750 ballots were undeliverable as of April 2. That number has likely increased since then.
The Anchorage Assembly certification of the April 2 Regular Election is scheduled to occur at the regular Assembly meeting on April 23, beginning at 5 p.m. in the Assembly Chambers at the Loussac Library.
Written testimony or comments for the Election Commission meetings are encouraged. Emails should be sent to elections@anchorageak.gov by 10:30 a.m. the day of the meeting.

Challenged ballot envelopes, mail in voting is just wrong.
One vote in person with ID on voting day, end of story.
So agree!
Sent.
Members of the Election Commission,
In my opinion, the constant lying by the federal government over the last 60 years combined with the shenanigans of 2020 have resulted a level of distrust in all government institutions at all levels that has not been seen in this country… ever.
Rank choice voting in Alaska, created by cheaters for the purpose of cheating, was slipped past voters by use of duplicitous language on the ballot.
Whether or not the state or municipality participated in that cheat, the reputations of both were sullied.
Elections must be above reproach, nearly sacrosanct or the losing side will always claim the opposition cheated and they’ll always be right, to some extent, because cheating nearly always occurs.
To run a righteous election the following must be true.
One day voting & count begins.
Absentee ballots only, no mass mailings.
Hand counts. No electronics connected in any way, shape or form, to the internet.
Counts observed at all times.
I would even go so far as to suggest ballot counters be selected much like jurists are selected.
If ‘authorities’ do not stop lying, cheating and indulging in shenanigans at every opportunity, this nation will come apart.
Thank you for your time,
We agree with Proud Alaskan. We just watched a podcast on utube: “Dominion Fraud” Wolves and Finance and it exposes the use of Dominion and Alaska was specifically named as having modems attached the Dominion machines. A worthy source. Pray against election fraud in Alaska and the other States in America.
Can you supply a link to the podcast on youtube or what to look for.
Pat, here’s a link and to hear the information about Alaska, start at about the 16:15 mark.

Did you guys watch the video, ‘[S]Election Code Full Documentary’ that tells the story of Mesa Colorado’s County Clerk Tina Peters? It is a very good reminder that “Those who count the votes decide everything. The video is just over one hour long. Sure brings back a lot of feelings from the 2020 election!

So, ballots are coming in before the in-person voting day. People vote in person on voting day. Ballots still coming in for 14 days AFTER the in-person voting day? If this is true, it’s not wonder that LaFrance is going to win. They figured out how many they needed. This election should be redone AFTER all of those undeliverable ballots are reconciled.
Members of the Election Commission:
.
May we respectfully suggest the number of challenged ballots is but one reason for diminished public confidence in the integrity of the municipal mail-in election process.
.
No accusations of wrongdoing are made. The intent is to illuminate the mass of information supporting growing public perception that: (a) something is very wrong with Anchorage’s election system, and (b) restoring traditional in-person voting, hand-counted ballots, bi-partisan monitoring, and finalizing election results in 24 hours are the only ways to fix it.
.
1. A federal judge had to order Alaska’s Lieutenant Governor to disclose data reports from ERIC after Alaska’ election officials were so opposed to “ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters” that they spent thousands of taxpayer dollars on lawyers to stop efforts to obtain ERIC data reports pertaining to potentially deceased registrants on the state’s voter rolls.
.
2. Voter registration data for 113K Alaskans was hacked but no one tells them until after the election was certified.
(apnews.com/article/election-2020-alaska-general-elections-elections-voter-registration-a303960ee8a0ec5b4bb45571ff9630f9)
.
3. Voters are expected to believe unverifiable voter-turnout information and relection results provided by unelected city officials with a vested interest in election results and the success of their demonstrably corruptible mail-in ballot system.
.
4. Anchorage Assembly forced an easily corruptible mail-in balloting on voters wihout voters’ consent.
.
5. Ballot chain of custody and preservation, critical to the integrity of any voting system, does not exist in mail-in voting.
.
6. Mail-in ballots can be completed by anybody for anybody.
.
7. Nothing prevents mail-in ballot harvesting or close election outcomes from being swayed by the results of ballot harvesting.
.
8. Nothing assures mail-in voter registration rolls are current and accurate to the point that close elections will not be swayed by sheer numbers of fraudulent votes, fraudulently altered votes, unqualified voters, coerced votes, illegally “assisted” votes, non-resident voters, lost ballots, and dead voters.
.
9. The factors which led to LeDoux’ questioned election appear to remain unresolved, leading one to ask whether the LeDoux issue might simply have been an inadvertent “glitch” in a much larger ballot-fraud scheme.
.
10. Anchorage uses the State of Alaska’s ERIC-corrupted voter rolls. Practically everybody who came to Alaska, and applied for unemployment and food stamps is a registered voter, even if they left Alaska in a month.
.
(a) “ERIC is a voter-roll management organization used by 33 states which ostensibly exists to identify duplicate or deceased registrants (by cross-referencing states’ voter and DMV records) and thereby “clean” state voter rolls…”The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was started by far-left political activist David Becker, who has dedicated his life to attacking conservatives and advancing left-wing policies. Becker also started the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), one of two leftist groups that funneled $419 million in grants from Mark Zuckerberg to mostly blue counties of swing states, funding Democratic get-out-the-vote operations from government election offices in 2020. ERIC shares voter roll data – including records of unregistered citizens – with CEIR, which then reportedly creates targeted mailing lists for unregistered but likely Democrat voters and sends them back to the states for voter registration outreach.”
.
(b) Per government watchdog Verity Vote, ERIC doesn’t actually clean states’ voter rolls, but rather inflates them. Though member states are allegedly required to clean their voter rolls, nothing happens. A March 2022 audit by Michigan’s auditor general found the state’s Bureau of Elections failed to sufficiently clean its voter rolls, though Michigan had joined ERIC in 2019. Likewise, the District of Columbia (another ERIC member) has also been sued for its failure to clean its rolls.”
.
11. Nothing prevents every military member ordered to JBER from applying for a PFD when eligible; even though the member has no intention of returning to Alaska, the member is now a registered Alaskan voter and PFD recipient.
.
12. Anchorage has a lengthy “early voting” period and provides anyone who asks with a list of who has and hasn’t voted so far. This is simply a vote-harvesting scheme. If you are a union, you have a very accurate contact list of all your members, often provided to you by a public employer at public expense. You check the list of who has and hasn’t voted, you send someone to “remind” members who haven’t.
.
13. In Anchorage, the Left buys votes at wholesale; conservatives/Republicans have to get their vote at retail. The Democrats/leftists/union get most of their votes in neatly organized blocks (wholesale) of union members and interest group members because, under the mail-in vote scheme, they are easy to identify and turn out and, particularly with the union members, there is an implicit threat if they don’t turn out and vote correctly.
.
14. The Right has to try to contact their constituencies through a hopelessly fragmented media market and with shoe leather and phone calls (retail).
.
15. Since the State’s ERIC rolls don’t have accurate or up-to-date addresses or contact numbers, a conservative candidate has to spend a lot of money for somewhat more accurate lists, or just trudge down the streets of the districts hoping to find somebody who hasn’t already voted for the leftist (retail)
.
16. Nothing shows that ballots rejected for signature issues were rejected by qualified professional graphologists, certified by the American Association of Handwriting Analysts, whose expert testimony is court admissible; nothing indicates what handwriting specimens are used for comparison, or what allowances are made for the effects of age or infirmity on handwritten signatures
.
17. (a) Suzanne LaFrance, former District 5 Director of the Alaska Municipal League, former Anchorage Assembly Chair, is a mayoral candidate.
(b) The AML exists for one reason: “…to strengthen Alaska’s (165) local governments” (akml.org/)
(c) The AML has $788,405,223.87, of taxpayers’ money in its “investment pool”.
(d) Anchorage is an AML member.
(e) The Anchorage Assembly employs the Municipal Clerk who counts the votes for LaFrance.
(f) The Anchorage Municipal Clerk is Secretary of the Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks.
(g) The Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks is an AML affiliate.
(h) The Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks “…work(s) closely with the Alaska Municipal League and conduct(s) Annual Meetings in conjunction with the Alaska Municipal League’s Annual Conference each December.”
(https://www.akml.org/about/affiliates/)
(i) The Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks corporate sponsors include Dominion Voting “(which) has been supporting Alaska’s clerks and election officials since 1998” and Election Systems & Software “the most experienced provider of total election solutions. For almost 40 years the most experienced provider of total election solutions…”
(https://www.alaskaclerks.org/general/page/sponsors)
.
18. The Anchorage Assembly gave themselves broad subpoena powers for no other apparent reason than to retaliate publicly against election observers who blew the whistle on Assembly employees allowing thumb drives of unknown origin and content to be inserted into the city’s Dominion vote tabulation gear.
.
19. The potential for municipal election fraud appeared in “Election observers had questions, Mayor Bronson wants answers for irregularities in municipal election process”, “Must Read Alaska”, April, 2022, excerpted below:
.
“Mayor Dave Bronson has questions about how the most recent municipal election was handled — questions that were raised by election observers and citizens, questions that were never adequately answered.
.
…Specifically, the mayor is asking the Clerk’s Office to address:
.
(a) Why (was) an apparently unscheduled, unannounced visit of a Dominion Voting Systems technician, or third-party contractor for Dominion, on site at the election center on April 19. A man named Whu Leung signed into the election center at about 9 am, and appeared to open, connect cables to, insert USB sticks in, and/or edit or update the software on the Dominion Voting Systems machine, according to election observers. This occurred prior to the certification of the election, and before all ballots had arrived for counting…
.
(b) What was on these USB flash sticks? Why was a flash stick required to perform the technical work Leung was onsite for? Did the Municipal Clerk’s Office conduct a background check or similar search of Leung before he was authorized to modify, edit, and possibly tamper with critical voting infrastructure?
.
(c) The Mayor’s Office also wants to know why many voters didn’t get their ballots delivered at their homes and whether the Clerk’s Office kept a log of all voters who called to report they didn’t receive their ballots. What did the Clerk’s Office do to remedy the situation…
.
(d) The mail-only ballots were supposed to be mailed to voters 21 days before the election. The Mayor’s Office wants to know if that occurred, because it appears many ballots did not arrive timely.
.
(e) …felt-tipped pens (were) used in the voting area of the Loussac Library on April 5, the final day of the election. The ballot tells voters to use black or blue ink, but dry-erase pens were made available at the voting station, where people could mark their ballots and drop them in a box. Those markers had a tendency to smear.
.
(f) Observers also told the Office of the Mayor that there were a higher number of “undeliverable” ballots in the 2022 Regular Municipal Election compared to the 2021 Regular Municipal Election, despite fewer ballots having been mailed out. The Mayor’s Office wants to know exactly how many ballots were mailed and came back undelivered in 2021 and also in 2022, and what the rationale is for the difference in the two numbers.
.
(g) It is likely Jones, who has a somewhat hostile approach toward the mayor’s team, will charge the Mayor’s Office a significant fee for the fulfillment of the public records request. Her office is under the direction of the Anchorage Assembly, not the executive branch.”
.
This is relevant; it reinforces the public’s sense that the Clerk who works for the Assembly, who counts the votes, may share the Assembly’s documented preference for for LaFrance and animus against Bronson. Whether such animus may rise to altering ballot count to favor LaFrance is unknown but, under these circumstances, the possibility that it could seems reasonable.
.
(h) The potential for municipal election fraud appears again in “Fire alarm goes off at election office on key day for ballot counting” “Must Read Alaska”, May, 2021, excerpted below:
.
“In other security issues related to the Election Office, Bronson observers video recorded a woman trying to enter the building with a box at 10:58 pm on Tuesday night, and several election workers still working in the building after 11 pm, although the Bronson observers had been told that work was done for the night at about 9:30 pm. Having left their observation posts, they returned to the building after 11 pm to find Municipal Clerk Barbara Jones and Deputy Clerk Erika McConnell leaving the building. Two others left the building at the same time.”
.
In conclusion, the narrative inspires no confidence in Anchorage’s municipal election system. Nothing to date disproves the narrative or conclusions. While no accusations of wrongdoing are made, a reasonable observation is that, without a system of credible checks and balances, elected and unelected officials have significant motive, means, and opportunity to sway the election in favor of their preferred candidate.
.
May we therefore respectfully request the Commission refer the matter to the federal grand jury for investigation under RICO (18 U.S.C. §§1961–6), Honest Services Fraud (18 U.S.C. §1346), Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (18 U.S. Code §242), and the Voting Rights Act (42 U.S.C. §§1973 to 1973).
