Alaska purges registration rolls: Stats for party growth/decline

from Ballot Access News
Alaska Purges Registration Rolls

March 21st, 2009

Earlier this month, Alaska purged its list of registered voters, to delete people who haven’t voted in the last four years. The new registration totals for each party, compared to the totals just prior to the November 2008 election, show that the two major parties have proportionately gained, whereas the number of voters registered as independents, or as members of minor parties, has declined.

The list below shows the percentage of voters in each party. Listed first is the October 2008 share of the registration; listed second is the March 2009 share:

Independent: 52.92%, 52.62%
Republican: 25.65%, 26.12%
Democratic: 15.51%, 15.69%
Alas. Indpc: 2.78%, 2.72%
Libertarian: 1.39%, 1.26%
Rep Moderate: .77%, .65%
Green: .59%, .54%
Veterans: .39%, .38%

Parties need 9,735 registered members to be ballot-qualified for 2010, unless they polled 3% for U.S. Senate in 2008 (only the Republicans, Democrats, and Alaskan Independence Party polled as much as 3% for U.S. Senate in 2008). The Alaskan Independence Party now has 12,971 registrants, so it meets both the vote test and the registration test. There are 6,031 Libertarians, 3,115 Republican Moderates, 2,592 Greens, and 1,827 Veterans Party members.

    denying and covering up the space-based weapons that were used to disintegrate the towers?

  3. paulie March 23, 2009

    wish i was bored , Nevada is embroiled in in-fighting and about to have what could be the most contentious state convention we’ve ever had .

    Oh yeah. Meant to ask you for more info on that.

    And regarding the bit about the marches: I think that the 6th Anniversary of the war (along with those marches) should be covered more. With the United States subetly increasing it’s efforts in Afghanistan and the beginnings of what is now a new cold war with Iran, people need to be reminded how much the Iraq war really cost the U.S. and it’s people. And I’m not just talking about the dollar – we’re talking lives here.

    Amen.

    Yeah. It is a boring time in political world. Not a heck of a lot going on in the blogosphere.

    I could easily still write 10, 15 or 30 stories a day here, but I don’t have enough time/inclination anymore.

    Ms Girl,

    Space-based MASER, not missles.

    Thanks for the info.

    For those that give a rat’s ass, my good friend of many years, Dr. McFarland of Boulder, Colorado, died recently. He was a Green. He was my mentor. He was a trufer. He also thought Pearl Harbor smelled a little fishy. So if he was a trufer then by God, that’s good enough for me. All you anti-trufer shits can kiss my ass.

    Sunshine__Is Jim Duensing still allied the the COINTELPRO faction of the 9/11 movement, denying and covering up the space-based weapons that were used to disintegrate the towers?

    How many of the Nevada LP are engineers working on defense contracts building genocidal weapons for the powers that be?

    in answer to your first question , I hadnt thought of it. LOL
    Duensing is our most fervent 9-11 truther , i thought , i had never heard about so-called missles desytoying the towers , and with all due respect , i find it a little funny.
    to answer your 2nd question ( you obviously know a little something ) , our oldest member is an engineer for the defense dept.
    He is one of our most respected members and id trust him with anything .
    you may find it hard to believe but the defense dept does more than build ‘genocidal weapons ‘.
    its seems apparent your probably one of those that thinks everyone that works for the government is evil .
    frankly i find it laughable.

    I’m an independent(little “i”) because of my rebellious instinct to side with intelligence over authority.

    I would consider myself to be progressive, but as soon as they start telling me what I think, they become an ideology, and I rebel.

    Jim Duensing vs Joe Silvestri for chair.
    if any of you know both of them , just for fun , who would you vote for?

    This poll really doesn’t tell much. The declination of numbers in those two parties is somewhat small, though sure, every little bit does count. I think the bigger picture here is that overal registration has fallen. I’d like to see totals just prior to 20011.

    And regarding the bit about the marches: I think that the 6th Anniversary of the war (along with those marches) should be covered more. With the United States subetly increasing it’s efforts in Afghanistan and the beginnings of what is now a new cold war with Iran, people need to be reminded how much the Iraq war really cost the U.S. and it’s people.

    Yeah. It is a boring time in political world. Not a heck of a lot going on in the blogosphere.

    Though, often that means that people are recuperating and there will soon be a push. And/or people are working on other projects you aren’t tuned in to.

    Right now, there are big marches in DC, San Francisco, and Los Angeles about the 6th Anniversary of the war. So, probably a lot of the people that sometimes hang out here are busy focusing on that.

    just thought i’d mention how bored i am.
