Read MoreVoting machines are more accurate that counting ballots by hand.
There is no real argument about that. But Barbara Haney and Tammie Wilson, followers of Trumpism, are claiming that we need to abandon voting machines in Fairbanks and rely on tired election workers to count everything by hand because they don’t trust the machines.

If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to “help” Sen. Dan Sullivan’s sagging fortunes by visiting Alaska on Bribe Force One, expect the same tired shtick from the old guy.
The Man of Gold will brag about himself, pause for a moment to lie that he won the 2020 election, then resume the boasting marathon.
