Judge won't revisit Tagle ruling or widen the case to include Treg Taylor
An Anchorage judge on Monday refused to reconsider her ruling that disqualified House District 22 candidate Jose Tagle Jr., and declined to widen the case to include Treg Taylor, the Republican candidate for governor.
Her orders don't say whether Taylor could be certified if he wins Tuesday. The state Division of Elections argues he couldn't under her ruling, and that his running mate, Candi English, would become governor instead.
Superior Court Judge Josie Garton denied the division's petition for rehearing and denied Taylor's request to join the case. In a handwritten note on that second order, she wrote that "the court denied the Division's petition for rehearing and does not expand the scope of this administrative appeal."
Garton ruled Oct. 22 that Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom broke state law by certifying Tagle's nomination after the Alaska Public Offices Commission found he hadn't substantially complied with the state's financial disclosure law in time. Tagle stays on the ballot, but the division told him Oct. 23 it won't certify him as elected if he gets the most votes.
The ruling never mentions Taylor. But the commission had made a similar finding about him, on a 4-1 vote, and Dahlstrom certified both men on the same day, Sept. 4.
