Really, Alaskan's do know what they're doing with that checkbox:
OK…Just for the record, the box on the voter registration doesn’t say “Independent” or “Alaska Independent” or “Independent Alaskan”. It says “Alaskan Indpendence Party” and no Alaskan who was born and raised here, and has lived here all their life is going to confuse the Alaskan Independence Party with Non-Partisan. There is no plausible ”Oops! Checked off the secessionist box by mistake!” scenario.

And then I think Mudflats was ahead of Salon on this story too.
But who cares ? It was clear who she is from the start, the burning question was everyone buying what she was selling ?
