Alaska has been trying to get the name change recognized at the Federal level for 40-plus years. They did change it at the state level in 1980. The name change at the Federal level failed because a bunch of senators and reps from Ohio (McKinley's home state) pitched a bitch-fit about changing the name. Kind of like what Ohio's politicians are doing now. As for the rest of the politicians bitching about the name change, the bitching is politically motivated.
