Anchorage Mayor Bronson is launching an inquiry into the 2022 city election, calling for an audit of election technology, requesting a trove of records and asking questions in part based on complaints lodged by conservative candidates he supported.
The mayor in his letter said that during the election, his office “fielded widespread questions and concerns related to the voting process.”
For example, ballots were mailed on time and the clerk resolved an issue with the U.S. Postal Service that caused some to arrive at homes later than anticipated, according to another letter from the clerk, included with the memo. The clerk’s office investigated other issues and explained situations raised in the complaints and found no impact to the election’s results, according to the memo.
The Anchorage Elections Commission, which advises the Assembly and city clerk on the conduct of elections, also reviewed the four complaints from campaigns during its Public Session of Canvass., wrote an addendum addressing the complaints: “...
The commission said it plans to provide further comments about the election to the Assembly and mayor after reviewing additional voting data. Bronson’s call for an audit largely hinges on a visit from a technician on the last day of vote tabulation, during which the man “appeared to open, connect cablers to, insert USB stick in/or edit software” on the city’s Dominion Voting System machines, Bronson’s letter states.
