State disputes (Joe) Miller claim that felons illegally voted

JUNEAU -- The state's election director on Thursday disputed Republican Joe Miller's allegations that perhaps hundreds of felons were wrongfully allowed to vote in last month's U.S. Senate race. Gail Fenumiai said the state Division of Elections compares its voter rolls weekly with data from the Department of Corrections and removes those who have lost their right to vote. Asked if she had any concerns that felons were wrongfully allowed to vote, she answered emphatically: "Absolutely not."

Miller, who is challenging how the state conducted the election, alleged this week that hundreds of convicted felons in Alaska's sex offender database cast ballots. Miller's campaign compared sex offender data to voter rolls.

It's not clear how many of those offenders had their right to vote reinstated; Fenumiai said a person convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude who has been unconditionally discharged from jail, probation or parole has the right to register or re-register to vote. That person's name, however, could still appear on the sex offender registry.

The campaign concedes that but wants a judge to grant the opportunity to investigate the matter further.
