thus requiring a 30-day period to establish residency before someone can claim to be a resident of Alaska, without having undertaken such concrete measures as changing a drivers license, signing a lease, buying a home or registering to vote. Stone argued that residency is not established on the first day someone is in Alaska, but after the 30th day.
Presenting on behalf of the Alaska Division of Elections and Lt. Governor Nancy Dahlstrom was Laura Wolff, who called into question the idea that 30 days must be added to any specific residency requirements. Arguing on behalf of Armstrong — who received 4,237 votes to 3,432 for Vazquez — was Scott Kendall, who felt judge Walker’s decision was not made in error, and that the facts presented in Superior Court had been objective and not subjective.
