2026/08/08

Alaska’s election office is sending out letters to nearly 3,000 voters mistakenly removed from the rolls last summer — based on outdated driver’s license data that wrongly flagged them as non-citizens. Lawmakers warn this could disenfranchise eligible voters, but the state refuses to restore them automatically, instead asking each person to reconfirm citizenship and cast a “questioned” ballot. Many recipients are frustrated, reporting delays, communication issues, and no status updates — even

Senator Lisa Murkowski just torpedoed Todd Blanche’s Attorney General nomination, calling him unfit to challenge the current administration’s worst policies — citing his past decisions on Trump immunity, targeting political rivals, mishandling Epstein files, and backing a controversial $2 billion “slush fund” for January 6th events.
