Al Gross should have stayed on U.S. House ballot, Alaska Supreme Court says (Via AlaskaBeacon)
Independent Alaska U.S. House candidate Al Gross, center, stands with supporters holding signs near an intersection in Juneauon Saturday, June 11, 2022.
Gross’ withdrawal has still not been explained, and the division advanced only three candidates to the four-person ranked-choice general election after removing Gross from the ballot., stating, “had the Division strictly followed the law, Dr. Gross’s name should have remained on the special general election ballot.”
It isn’t clear how — or whether — the result of the election would have changed if Gross had remained on the ballot. The court said in a brief ruling last year that the division lacked the power to replace Sweeney with Gross, and Friday’s ruling reconfirmed that initial decision.
