State asks judge to reconsider Tagle ruling, saying it would also reach Taylor
The Alaska Division of Elections asked an Anchorage judge Thursday to reconsider her ruling that disqualified Republican Jose Tagle Jr. in the House District 22 race, arguing that the same reasoning would reach Treg Taylor, the Republican candidate for governor.
Superior Court Judge Josie Garton ruled Oct. 22 that Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom violated state law by certifying Tagle's nomination after the Alaska Public Offices Commission found he had not substantially complied with the state's financial disclosure law in time. Dahlstrom certified Taylor the same day, Sept. 4, after the commission made a similar finding about him.
The ruling "applies equally to Taylor," the state wrote in its petition, but the effect would be different. Governor candidates run with a running mate, who moves up if the candidate is disqualified early enough. Applied to Taylor, the state wrote, the ruling would mean the ballot should have listed his running mate, Candi English, for governor.
The state's main request is for Garton to grant a rehearing and uphold Dahlstrom's Sept. 4 decision. Under state law, it argues, the commission's Aug. 28 finding against Tagle didn't take effect until 30 days after it was delivered, because the commission never ordered otherwise, so it wasn't yet in force when Dahlstrom certified him. Garton had ruled that it took effect immediately. The state asked for a quick decision because the election is Tuesday.
