"Anchorage Mayor Bronson Faces Scrutiny Over Internal Policy Used to Challenge Election"

Emails reveal that the IT director of Anchorage, Marc Dahl, emailed the former chief of staff to Mayor Dave Bronson, Sami Graham, a newly created internal security policy just hours before she used it to challenge the city's April 4 election. The policy, which was quietly added to the city's intranet, required authorization for the use of USB drives on city equipment, which Graham and other election observers claimed was being violated. The incident is now under investigation, raising questions about potential coordination between Dahl, Graham, and the election observers. The city clerk and other officials have stated that the policy is not valid, as it did not go through the required process for developing and adding municipality-wide policies.
