A divided Alaska Supreme Court ruled Friday that Democrat Jennifer “Jennie” Armstrong, who won a state House race in Anchorage, was a qualified candidate.
by Republican Liz Vazquez, who lost to Armstrong, and four others who had joined her in challenging Armstrong’s win.
Three justices heard the case: Chief Justice Daniel Winfree and Justices Jennifer Henderson and Susan Carney. Carney dissented, writing that she would reverse Walker’s finding that Armstrong was qualified. Under the state constitution, to serve in the legislature one must be a “qualified voter who has been a resident of Alaska for at least three years and of the district from which elected for at least one year, immediately preceding his filing for office.” The filing deadline was June 1.
“While Armstrong may subjectively believe that she became a resident of Alaska when she ‘showed up, put her head down, and decided’ on May 20, 2019, the objective evidence says otherwise,” Stone and fellow attorneys for the plaintiffs wrote in court documents.
