Anchorage Superior Court Judge Eric Aarseth reversed the Division of Election’s rejection of the Recall Dunleavy campaign application.
The Division of Elections rejected a bid to advance the recall effort based on an opinion from Attorney General Kevin Clarkson.
Clarkson found the reasons listed for the recall were factually and legally deficient.
