The Division of Elections said it could remove Al Gross from the ballot but concluded Sweeney couldn’t advance because state law says a replacement can’t be added within 64 days of the general election. A lawsuit is challenging that decision.
Three Alaska voters have filed a lawsuit against the Division of Elections to get Republican candidate Tara Sweeney on the special election ballot for U.S. House, but the first judge to hear it said he’s inclined to rule against them.
The Division of Elections said it could remove Gross from the ballot but concluded Sweeney couldn’t advance because state law says a replacement can’t be added within 64 days of the general election. Attorney Holly Wells, from Anchorage firm Birch Horton, said the 64-day limit is for a regular election and can’t be crammed into the compressed timeline of a special. The lawsuit also argues that the voters are expecting to rank four candidates on the ballot and that having only three names to rank would deprive them of the right to vote for a duly nominated candidate.
