ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Alaska Supreme Court will decide whether the state must reprint 800,000 ballots after a candidate complained about how some candidates were listed.
In preparing the ballots, election officials dropped the designator for undeclared or nonpartisan candidates if they ran and won the nomination in the Democratic primary.
A lower court judge on Friday said Alyse Galvin, a nonpartisan candidate who won the Democratic primary in the U.S. House race, raised legitimate concerns but the harm to the state could be not fully mitigated or accounted for by approving Galvin’s request for a temporary injunction.
Galvin appealed to the state Supreme Court, which was hearing the case Friday.
