No Investigation Into Anchorage Gay Ordinance Vote

No Investigation Into Anchorage Gay Ordinance Vote

The battle to win LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination laws in Anchorage, Alaska, has come to an end. Well, maybe.

Local NBC affiliate KTUU reports that the Anchorage Assembly voted Tuesday evening 7-4 not to launch an independent investigation into allegations that conservatives committed voter fraud by telling supporters they could register on the same day as the vote and separate claims that ballot shortages unfairly cost equality activists a winning vote.

But not all the Assembly members, even those who voted against an investigation, are convinced there weren't some shenanigans at play in the vote.

...not for a single day beyond that. And, since corruption makes it impossible for the legal system to function (that's the problem with it, after all), they don't deserve the entire legal process (or any of it) before being removed. They just need to be moved from that office to a temp labor office, the same day.

Disgusting but no more than I would expect from a bunch of corrupt homohaters.
