## Resource

A federal prisoner serving 20 years in New York is running for Alaska’s U.S. House seat — and his mom, who’s never been to Alaska, is also on the ballot for the Senate. Eric Hafner, convicted for bomb threats and judge intimidation, made it past Alaska’s Supreme Court’s technical residency test — though he can’t actually take office if elected. He’s not alone: five other out-of-state candidates are vying for Alaska’s federal seats, from Massachusetts to Illinois. With the August 18 primary looming, this bizarre, Constitutionally gray election is just one wild chapter in a cycle already packed with drama and accusations of ballot mischief.
