Garton, from the bench, asked: “Why wouldn’t every candidate file a blank form?”Corruption shouldn't be hard.

Well, I certainly agree that the law ought to be amended here and this is (likely) an unintended consequence of a sensible law, that a candidate must file upon application, but has 30 days to amend in case mistakes are discovered, but the law never envisioned actually filing the document but leaving it blank. That’s an obvious oversight and the candidate found a loophole in the law.
The court ruled correctly based on all of the information in this article. And I agree it’s a loophole that needs to be addressed. But I’m not willing to assume corruption.

Alaska sure isn’t what it was in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
I used to regret leaving there. Now ... not so much.

Which one is worse? Not filing the proper paperwork, or
The Division of Elections frequently rejects candidates who file no form at all.
