Pubs work on plans to outright steal next election.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

US Supreme Court rejects challenge to Alaska campaign finance law

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a challenge based on constitutional free speech protections to a voter-approved measure in Alaska that required greater public disclosure of certain political donations as the justices passed up a chance to further curtail campaign finance regulation.

The justices turned away an appeal by several Alaskan residents and advocacy groups, represented by a conservative legal group, of a lower court's ruling upholding the law narrowly approved as a ballot initiative in 2020.

The initiative, called Ballot Measure 2, adopted sweeping changes to the state's elections system. The plaintiffs objected to what they called some of the most stringent disclosure requirements in the United States on political donors....

A trial court judge handling the case declined to block the law's enforcement. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Circuit upheld that ruling in March, saying the disclosure requirements were "reasonably tailored to the state's important interests in keeping the public informed."

Still a mess 3 months after the election despite no actual fraud being found. Election denial meets voter suppression meets male White supremacy, only in four of the state's 100 counties. Dem counties, of course. Shades of Florida 2000. The potentially disenfranchised are many overseas military voters and, as usual, women and POCs. Disgusting.

RepuQs are democracy haters and assholes.
