On December 14, 2020, Judy Norton-Eledge will be casting her vote for President Donald Trump as one of the 3 Alaska Electors selected by Republicans in the State of Alaska. The United States electors meet in each state and cast their ballots for president and vice president. Each elector votes on his or her own ballot and signs it.
The ballots are immediately transmitted to various people: one copy goes to the president of the U.S. Senate (who is also the vice president of the United States); this is the copy that will be officially counted later. Other copies go to the state’s secretary of state, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the presiding judge in the district where the electors meet (this serves as a backup copy that would replace the official copy sent to the president of the Senate if it is lost or destroyed).
Mrs. Eledge graduated from Wortham High School in 1965 and attended Navarro Junior College before graduating from Sul Ross University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Mr. Eledge has lived in Alaska since 1981, where she spent many years as a teacher and principal in both rural and urban Alaska. She has also been extremely involved in state politics, having served on the Republican State Central Committee as a district chair, and as President of the Anchorage Republican Women’s Club since 2008.
She has been a delegate to three Republican National Conventions and served as the State Coordinator for Ted Cruz for President in 2016. She served as an advisor on Governor Mike Dunleavy’s campaign in 2018. Her son Rodney Norton owns Call4Computers in Fairfield Texas, and her other son Jason lives in San Antonio Texas and is a stay-at-home Dad.
