Bill Walker on Civil Rights

 

 


Modernize voter registration & vote online

We increased access to the polls for Alaskans with limited English proficiency. We also now have a language assistance coordinator to ensure all Alaskans can exercise the right to vote. In addition, we are modernizing our voter registration system. As of November 24, Alaskans can register to vote online. Nearly 1,000 Alaskans have already done so.

Thinks marriage between man and woman, but uphold the law

A ruling from the 9th Circuit--which includes Alaska in its jurisdiction--said bans on same-sex marriage violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Such higher court rulings make the probability of a successful appeal when similar bans have already been overturned in other states unlikely. Walker said he personally viewed marriage as existing between a man and a woman, but added that if he were governor, he would "uphold the laws of the land."
