For the first time in its history, Alaska will conduct a statewide election primarily by mail because officials worry they lack the time to gather the people and paper needed to conduct an in-person election in June.
In Michigan, Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum says she fears increased animosity toward election officials is contributing to the shortage of poll workers needed for local elections in May.
And around the country, election officials are racing to place advance orders for ballot paper, registration cards and mail-in ballot envelopes.
The supply chain and staffing shortages that have plagued the rest of the US economy have come to elections, putting a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes logistics of keeping democracy functioning.
And experts warn the problem could grow worse as more elections crowd the calendar.
Voting experts say the supply-chain disruptions and the scramble to hire recruit poll workers underscore the need for a reliable stream of federal funding to avert big problems in November.
The $75 million included in a federal spending bill President Joe Biden recently signed "barely scratches the surface of the need," Tiana Epps-Johnson, executive director of nonpartisan Center for Tech and Civic Life, told Fredreka in a recent interview.

It’s all slip slidin’ away.
We’re just watching and realizing there’s not much we can, or are willing to do. Sad.
“Paper shortages”? WTH?
So the only solution is even more widespread electronic voting.
“...around the country, election officials are racing to place advance orders for ballot paper, registration cards and mail-in ballot envelopes.”
Yeah, these supply chain issues just suddenly popped up this week. There’s no way anybody could have foreseen this.
Why would the left give back what they stole?
That’s how they stole 2020...
“...the need for a reliable stream of federal funding...”
Money quote. Shakedown at the State Level by the Socialist Democrats.
It’s always something......
So this is how the RAT Bass Turds are going to steal this one. Wonderful.
That’s a lie
“There’s no paper” says Bonnie and Clyde, I mean CNN and MSM working their Soros partnership.
And the setup begins….
Here comes the massive, widespread fraud and corruption, just like in 2020. Everyone’s been saying that the GOP wins in a landslide; I don’t think so.
“ For the first time in its history, Alaska will conduct a statewide election primarily by mail.”
Does anyone know if this voted on by the state legislature?
As far as I understand it, only the legislature as allowed to alter the ways elections are conducted.
The Big Steal 2.0.
Right on cue...
Tell the instigators of this little crock of poo that it looks like we’ll have to cancel mail-in voting, doesn’t it? And watch it disappear forever.
Alaska already has RCV and RCV-enabled voting machines.
Deep State’s paranoia is becoming pathological.
