When Elections Become a Battlefield | Anchorage News

Anchorage News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/12

The president is doubling down on a baseless voter fraud narrative—despite no credible evidence, including from Republicans—while selectively applying it only to elections he lost. As midterms loom, he’s positioning himself as the sole guarantor of “fair” elections, conveniently ignoring his own past acceptance of results. Alarmingly, there are fears he might deploy military force to seize ballot boxes if outcomes don’t favor him—a direct assault on democracy. But citizens are being called to

The Trump administration has pulled federal funding from the Arctic Report Card — NOAA’s annual, peer-reviewed snapshot of Arctic climate change — sparking alarm among scientists and lawmakers. Though data collection will continue, NOAA no longer leads the report’s coordination, a move critics say undermines critical climate research at a time of accelerating Arctic change. Polar scientist Melody Brown Burkins and Senator Lisa Murkowski voiced concern, warning that cutting ties to this vital

Southcentral Alaska’s gas supply is in crisis as ENSTAR Natural Gas battles HEX Operating over a sudden halt in critical deliveries—just when they need it most to prep for winter. After losing approval for a $240 million storage project, ENSTAR now faces a steep price hike from HEX, who’s reportedly selling gas at $17.50 per thousand cubic feet instead of the agreed $13.50.

Juneau, Alaska braces for major flooding as Suicide Basin, a glacially-dammed lake, breaches its ice dam—sending floodwaters racing toward the Mendenhall Valley.

The Big Timber Motel, a long-standing eyesore and safety nightmare, finally comes down—thanks to city officials who’ve been dealing with its dangers for years. First responders were regularly called in for fires and emergencies, making every visit riskier. With private ownership but mounting code violations, the city stepped in, placing liens to cover over $285K in demolition and hazardous waste costs.

Alaska voters head to the polls August 18th to decide on campaign finance reform—capping individual donations at $2,000 to candidates and $5,000 to parties, with higher limits for groups. After courts struck down previous limits and lawmakers failed to pass new laws (including a vetoed bill by Governor Dunleavy), it’s now up to the people. While critics argue this hinders grassroots influence, the reality is most regular folks can’t afford big checks anyway. And remember: in 2016, 73% of

2026/08/12

Alaska’s voter rolls just got a major shake-up after over 2,800 names were flagged as potential noncitizens — thanks to a new cross-check with old DMV data. The problem? Many of those records are outdated — people may have gotten licenses before becoming citizens, but the system doesn’t account for that. Now, flagged voters can still cast ballots but must jump through hoops to prove citizenship or risk being removed. Privacy advocates and immigration lawyers are sounding the alarm: this flawed

Alaska’s voter rolls just got a major audit—and it’s causing chaos. Over 2,800 voters were slapped with a “noncitizen” flag after the state began cross-checking every active voter against DMV records, a massive expansion from past practices. Now, these voters can still vote—but only if they prove their citizenship through extra steps. Already, 600+ people are disputing the flags, many of whom became citizens between 2016 and 2026 and whose DMV records haven’t caught up. The fallout? Federal

A former president secretly flew across Europe on a military jet hidden inside a catering truck during a NATO summit, ditching the usual Air Force One to evade media scrutiny—only to return to the original plane for show. Security concerns, fueled by Iran’s threats and his own admission that he’s always a target, drove the covert maneuver. The Pentagon and White House stayed silent, but the move sparked questions about presidential travel protocols—and came amid a broader push to uncover

Elon Musk just dumped $1.5 million into Alaska’s ballot measure fight — a massive push to scrap ranked-choice voting, open primaries, and campaign finance transparency laws enacted in 2020. Backed by the Wisconsin-based Aurora Action Network and other wealthy donors, the repeal effort aims to return Alaska to closed primaries and traditional “pick one” elections — a move that would also hide campaign donors.
