ALASKA SUPERIOR COURT GRANTS A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
The Court Rules that Alaska Voters Deserve a Fair and Legal Election

(Anchorage, Alaska) – The Alaska Superior Court has granted the temporary restraining order.

“The judge has clearly ruled that the law should be upheld, and Alaska voters deserve a fair and legal election,” said Patti Higgins, Chair of the Alaska Democratic Party. “The court’s ruling ensures that the Division of Elections and the State of Alaska cannot give special treatment to any write-in candidate.”

Tom Daniel, the attorney representing the ADP, said, “The judge clearly indicated the Division of Elections violated its own regulation and its long-standing practice regarding write-in votes.”
