Court allows group trying for recall to get signatures
The Alaska Supreme Court agreed Friday to allow a group seeking to recall Gov. Mike Dunleavy to gather signatures while the court weighs an appeal in the case.
Last month, Superior Court Judge Eric Aarseth put a hold on his ruling that would have allowed the
Recall Dunleavy group to advance to a new, signature-gathering phase. In issuing the stay, Aarseth agreed with arguments from recall opposition group Stand Tall With Mike, which argued that voter confusion and legal disputes could arise if the signature-gathering began and the high court subsequently invalidated part of the recall application.
The order directs the state Division of Elections to prepare petition booklets “forthwith” for issuance to the recall group.
