Ballot Measure 2 will disproportionally harm Alaska Natives. This 25-page initiative would replace our simple method of voting with a complicated scheme financed by Lower 48 billionaires, without Alaska’s unique diversity in mind. One year after all Alaska Natives were granted U.S. citizenship, the Alaska Territorial Legislature enacted a literacy law requiring that voters be able to read and write in English – effectively disenfranchising thousands of Alaska Natives.
