Alaska Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer and acting state attorney general Ed Sniffen have signed letters urging U.S. senators to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Alaska’s lieutenant governor is in charge of the state’s elections, and the letter says, “It is critical that Americans exercise their right to vote with total confidence that a full, nine-member Court could examine any challenges to elections results without the potential of tie vote.”
“In the case an election issue is challenged in court, America cannot afford a tie vote,” the Alabama letter states.
Neither Sniffen nor Meyer responded to emails or calls about the letters on Tuesday to answer questions about the letters. Sniffen is out of the state until mid-October, an automatic email response said. The Department of Law’s spokeswoman was unable to answer questions about the emails.
President Donald Trump, who selected Coney Barrett after the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, has said he wants Congress to approve his pick before Election Day.
