Fairbanks Assembly hears residents oppose Dominion Voting machines

During the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly meeting on March 6, 2025, community members voiced strong concerns regarding the use of Dominion Voting machines in upcoming elections. Aaron Hall, a resident of North Pole, expressed his belief that these machines are vulnerable to compromise and lack adequate technological safeguards, which could undermine election integrity. Hall's testimony highlighted a growing apprehension among residents about the reliability of electronic voting systems.

Another resident, Amy Murrill from Fairbanks, echoed Hall's sentiments, stating her distrust in the Dominion machines and her preference for non-electronic voting methods. Both testimonies reflect a significant community concern about the security and trustworthiness of the electoral process.

The assembly also attempted to reach other participants, including Ella Cotter and Davita Hess, but faced challenges with connectivity, as some individuals went straight to voicemail. The assembly's efforts to engage with the community indicate a commitment to hearing diverse perspectives, even amidst technical difficulties.

As discussions continue, the assembly will need to address these concerns about voting technology, which could have lasting implications for public confidence in the electoral process. The assembly's next steps will be crucial in determining how they respond to these community voices and what measures, if any, will be taken to ensure election security.
