Election officials finished recounting the results of Ballot Measure 2 on Monday, and the outcome remains unchanged.
Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, right, and state House candidate Steve Menard look on as Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher, foreground, decides how ambiguously-marked ballots should be counted during a recount at the Division of Elections’ headquarters in Juneau on Dec. 9, 2024.
The Alaska Republican Party requested the recount and monitored vote-counting alongside the anti-repeal campaign, No On 2. They also hand-counted at least 5% of ballots from each state House district to ensure the machine totals were correct. Ahead of the recount, Moore led top opponent Steve Menard by just 12 votes in the all-Republican contest. After the recount, Moore won by nine votes.
