The creator of the sub abandoned it so I stepped in to see how I could help. I updated some changes to the stylesheet, fixed some broken code, I also added a calendar, new logo, and quick links to the state Bernie facebook group on the sidebar. Lastly I added user flair for all the boroughs. If anyone has any specific requests let me know and I will see what I can do. I also invited /u/TheFatefulYam who had volunteered awhile back to help mod the sub when I thought the greater mod team with r/StatesForSanders had control of it and am also looking to recruit a couple more local moderators that have time to devote to this sub. More info on moderating the state subs Thanks!

Source for information on which states allow 17 year olds to vote in the primaries if they will be 18 by the general election: http://www.fairvote.org/reforms/universal-voter-registration/17-year-old-primary-voting-2/

8.6% of United States citizens are current or former felons. Another about 1% will be 17 at the time of the primaries, but 18 by the time of the general election. Once you factor in the percent of the population that still can’t vote due to their felonies, about 7% more people can vote than those who are currently aware. If we are able to spread this knowledge to every Bernie supporter who is 17 or a former felon, we can gain a yuuuuuuge advantage in the upcoming election. Make sure to spread the word while canvassing!

EDIT: The term for this is "off paper", so if you are canvassing to a felon, or are a felon, that is what you need to be to be eligible to vote!

Hey All. I'd like to hold a fundraiser for Sanders at my house. Thinking something real simple. I'll make some Salmon have a potluck and get a pony keg and have everybody throw in what they would've paid to be at dinner at the Moose Tooth. 20 bucks or so, checks written out to Sanders for President. Money would be secondary the big thing would be getting like minded individuals together to talk about the future of our State and Nation. Any interest?

Voter suppression often takes the form of requirements of certain types of I.D. at the polls. BE PREPARED and BRING THE CORRECT TYPE OF I.D.

Here is a link directly to the State of Alaska web page on it: https://elections.alaska.gov/vi_hv_vote_polls.php
