Pastor Slams Murkowski Over Voter Integrity

0:00Welcome to Anchorage News Today, two minutes of news that matter to Anchorage. A pastor in Anchorage is voicing strong frustration with Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski over her refusal to back the Save Act. This bill aims to require proof of citizenship for voter registration to ensure only Americans cast ballots in federal elections. He says her stance ignores real concerns about election integrity. The Save Act has gained traction among some conservatives who worry about non-citizen voting, but Murkowski has not endorsed it. Critics like the pastor argue she is comfortable with the current system, despite ongoing debates over voting rules. Local residents feel dismissed by her office's lack of responsiveness. The pastor represents a growing sentiment that elected officials should engage directly with constituents who fund their work. For three weeks, he tried reaching her staff by phone and online forms, but only received a standard automated email reply. Her office no longer lists public phone hours, making contact even harder.
