Why haven't Alaska authorities arrested Jim Minnery?

Jim Minnery, the too-slippery-by-half head of the Alaska Family Council and leader of the anti-LGBT, anti-Prop 5 group, Protect Your Rights, has basically indicted himself of election fraud. Mel Green of Bent Alaska reminds her readers of the applicable Alaska statutes:

Jim Minnery, of the Alaska Family Council
and of anti-LGBT group Protect Your Rights.
Minnery wrote an email blast/facebook
post telling people they could register and
vote on election day, even in precincts in
which they didn't live. Later he said he was
real sorry about that and blamed a city clerk's
office underling whom he couldn't name for
the bad info. What he didn't say was that
less than 45 days earlier, in another email
blast, he told voters to be sure to register
30 days in advance of the election (which
was true). Deceit may run in the Minnery
family — here's Jim's cousin Tom Minnery,
trying to fool Minnesota Senator Al Franken.

    As Bent Alaska readers are already aware, on February 17, Minnery sent out an email to the “Protect Your Rights” group (also sent to his Alaska Family Council mailing list) stating explicitly:

“Sunday, March 4th is the LAST DAY [emphasis his] you can register to vote in the April 3rd Election.”

     On April 4, he sent out an email entitled “Humble Pie,” in which he confessed to sending out a mailer instructing people to vote on election day; that Anchorage had same day voter registration. “I should have done more research before sending out the Action Alert,” he confessed in the letter. “I am willing to own up to my mistakes.”

     Under Alaska state law, [AS 15.56.035] it is a class A misdemeanor for an individual who “knowingly solicits or encourages, directly or indirectly, a registered voter who is no longer qualified to vote under AS.05.010” – which necessitates that voters must be ”a resident of the state… in which the person seeks to vote for at least 30 days just before the election”.

     Minnery needs to be held accountable. The free pass afforded him by elected officials and the media is irresponsible.  Mistakes happen, as does forgiveness. But so, too, should media scrutiny and due process of law.
