The hypocrisy of politicians collecting & spending money for their campaigns, imploring us to vote, yet there are no drop boxes except at the Division of Elections office on Gambell (and probably at polling centers). Who’s the whiz kid that knows the hows and whys that the state decided to yank access to drop boxes? Please enlighten me. I wanna who to actively campaign against.

(We could have another discussion on why I’d rather not mail in my ballot for another day.)

Page 10 shows GCI as the transferee. Don’t see any other notice of this anywhere else, like on their website or with AK RCA. WTF.

Seeing backup of traffic on Old Seward south of DeArmoun. Any input on why?
