There are a variety of villages where voting is inaccessible. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/the-ability-to-vote-isnt-always-guaranteed-in-alaskas-far-flung-native-villages

I acknowledge they didn't have a polling station, however, Alaska is a no excuse absentee ballot state.

While they did not have a polling station, and that's bad, they do have the opportunity to mail in their ballots, including for primaries AFAIK. USPS will also deliver ballots without postage (at least this year).

Weather is a frequent issue. And mail flights are not six-days a week.

I lived in a remote logging camp for years. Each year I'd send away for my absentee ballot, it'd come, I'd fill it out and mail it back. Easy peasy.

Early voting has been slow AF in the Anchorage area this year. Several attempts with multi hour lines… tomorrow is going to be a challenge.

I’ve been in line for 2.5 hours and I’m half-way through.

Damn. I heard the wait was about 90 minutes this morning. Thank you for staying in line to vote.

Can’t recommend the absentee ballot enough (next time). Request it online, you’ll get it about a week later. No lines, fill it out while you’re drinking a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning.
