That was exactly my reaction to reading her ridiculous statement: why didn't you negotiate for these picky special treatments if they made special sense in your thinly inhabited state?
I like that Alaska has developed its own unique system to verify eligibility for the annual money it pays people. The original documents requirement is a good way to do it. The US government uses original documents to issue passports by mail. It can be done.
I believe we need to update the Real ID law to force a delineation of citizen vs noncitizen on the face of the ID.
Murkowski would not even be a Senator if her father had not dropped out of the Senate to become the Governor of Alaska and then appointed his daughter to his seat.
i got a real ID from CA when I returned after 30 years in AK. I had to bring my birth certificate to get that. CA could not find my previous license records, clear back to 1970 (with 3 last names, and my current last name is the same as the one I had in '82. There were no real ID's when I left AK.....but with my military spouse ID, AK had given me a license and took my CA license. Not sure is military ID for spouse required my birth certificate, but I think it did. I was born in CA
I think she is looking for just about any excuse to stick it to Trump.

Thanks for the Alaska explainer.
