Alaska voters are on course to retain all 19 judges on this year’s election ballots, including Anchorage Superior Court Adolf Zeman, who had been targeted by a no-budget campaign critical of his ruling on a case pertaining to the state’s correspondence schools.
With 210 of 212 precincts in the 3rd Judicial District reporting results at 3 a.m. Wednesday, 52.8% of voters in the district had voted “yes” to retain Zeman.
Additional absentee, early and questioned ballots will be counted through Nov. 20 and could change the tallies.
Zeman received the lowest percentage of “yes” votes among the 19 judges statewide.
The judge with the highest percentage of “yes” votes, as of late Tuesday evening, was Ketchikan District Court Judge Kristian Pickrell. With 43 of 43 precincts reporting results, Pickrell had 75% “yes” votes.
Two Alaska Supreme Court judges were subject to statewide retention votes. With 374 of 402 state-level precincts reporting results Wednesday morning, Justice Dario Borghesan received “yes” votes from 60% of voters. Justice Jennifer Henderson had “yes” votes from 59.4% of voters.
