JUNEAU, Alaska - The Alaska Supreme Court plans to hear arguments Jan. 8, less than two weeks before the start of the next legislative session, in a challenge to the election lost by House Minority Leader Lance Pruitt.
A group of individuals earlier this month appealed the outcome of a recount they d requested that found Pruitt, a Republican, lost by 11 votes to Democrat Liz Snyder.
Pruitt and those same individuals also filed a lawsuit raising concerns with the elimination of witness requirements for absentee ballots and alleging the Division of Elections didn t properly notice a polling location change. The complaint alleges âseveralâ voters did not meet eligibility requirements to vote in the district.
