Show Notes
Alaskas unique voting system, which relies on mail and air travel due to its vast size and remote villages, is threatened by a U.S. Supreme Court case. The state allows late-arriving mailed ballots to be counted, but this practice could be disallowed, potentially disenfranchising thousands of rural voters. Senator Lisa Murkowski and local poll workers warn of a nationwide push against mail voting and a significant impact on Alaska Native voters. As the court prepares to rule, Alaska hopes for rules that accommodate its unique challenges and ensure fair elections for all.
