Anchorage Republican Rep. Lance Pruitt
and others are filing a lawsuit seeking to overturn his 11-vote loss to Democratic challenger Liz Snyder. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Pruitt and several individuals, previously described as voters in his district, who sought a recount in his race. In a complaint filed Wednesday, attorney Stacey Stone claims the state failed to properly provide notice when the Alaska Division of Elections moved a polling location from Muldoon Town Center to Begich Middle School. The suit also claims the Division of Elections failed to provide adequate election security after the Alaska Supreme Court temporarily invalidated the state law requiring absentee ballots to be co-signed by a witness.
