Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said her state’s newest senator, Democrat Mark Begich, should allow his seat to be decided in a new election now that charges against his predecessor Ted Stevens are being dropped.
“Alaskans deserve to have a fair election not tainted by some announcement that one of the candidates was convicted fairly of seven felonies, when in fact it wasn’t a fair conviction,” Palin said Thursday in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News.
Begich narrowly defeated Republican Stevens in last fall’s election, one week after a jury in Washington, D.C., convicted Stevens of seven counts of lying on financial disclosure forms to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and home renovations from a businessman.
