The Anchorage Superior Court will rule by June on whether opponents of ranked choice voting must disclose the source of campaign contributions funneled through a Washington-based church.
Updated: 23 seconds agoDivision of Election workers process signature booklets to repeal Alaska’s new voting system in Anchorage on Jan. 12, 2024.
The opponents of Alaska’s voting system appealed APOC’s decision to the Anchorage Superior Court in February, arguing that they should not have to pay part of the fines or disclose the identity of the contributors to the Washington church through which they continue to funnel their funding. Mathias and Izon were both involved in forming a church in Washington State, through which Mathias’ contributions were funneled. The move allowed them to shield the true source of funding on campaign materials, according to the commission’s findings. It also potentially allowed Mathias to save thousands of dollars in federal taxes by funneling his contributions through an untaxed religious organization, though tax-related questions are not handled by the Alaska commission.
