Compliant filed over Unalaska GOTV efforts


Friday, November 03 2006
Unalaska, AK – The state Division of Elections is questioning four employers in Unalaska following a complaint alleging that they were trying to influence their employees to vote for Carl Moses.
Division director Whitney Brewster faxed a letter to representatives of Alyeska Seafoods, Offshore Systems Inc., UniSea Inc. and Westward Seafoods last night. The letter states that the division "received a report that management staff of your plant have been providing sample ballots to plant employees, on-site at the plant, and instructing the employees to write-in the name of a particular candidate and vote for that candidate at the upcoming general election." Brewster identified the candidate in question as Carl Moses.
Brewster said this morning that although she's contacted three of the four companies about the complaint, she hasn't seen any evidence of wrongdoing so far.
Moses is running for his state House seat in District 37 general election as a write-in candidate after losing the Democratic primary to Bryce Edgmon in a coin toss.
