Sarah-4 candidates. Palin and Begich divide the GOP vote and the democrat slips in. Begich comes from a rat family-Manchurian republican.

Lisa-She got more votes than Tshibaka. Are Alaska voters as flakey as Utah's(Mittens)? Lisa has the rat vote.

I have tried to understand the ranked choice voting in Alaska, and still don’t quite understand.

I do have concerns, that the more complicated systems are, that there is more room for vote fraud to slip into the calculations.

Maybe Murkowski is more popular among Democrats than Republicans in Alaska. That could make a huge difference for the general election.

Alaska has a lot of folks on the government dole.

Hard to get them to give up on the gravy train.

It's been a dope-smoking state for decades, so there's that.

We do this to ourselves as a party. We can’t just have a winner. No we have to have gop two run again like Georgia and Mississippi or rank voting like New Hampshire and Alaska. Or we have to republicans run in the same race like Arizona and Alaska. We as a party are so dumb. Blue states would never run elections like this.

“Trump should give her a cabinet position.”

Fine but Sarah needs to seriously discuss current things and back off on being feisty. No more ‘drill baby drill”.

They may be getting tired of Sarah just like the country when Jeb came along.

Murkowski has never won even 50% of the general election vote in her life.
Even when she didn't have President Trump against her.
She will not be hard to beat in November.
Its Tshibaka all the way.

The “selected” are not the “elected”. Honest elections haven’t taken place in this nation since the introduction of machine counting

NO. Alaskans love Sarah and despise Murkowski. The system is EXTREMELY corrupt. Has been for a long time. It’s too easy to cheat, especially when you are dealing with very remote areas. After all, who is going to go there and check vote tallies? And don’t get me started on the stupid ranked voting and open primary garbage...

I don’t understand it, but to be fair it seemed too convoluted to even attempt. Or I’m lazy ; )

Definitely. But Georgia is dumb too having a run off in January. So dumb. We’d have the senate right now if Georgia just gave it to the simmers regardless of over 50 percent.

I ebeleive alskans are given some kind of yearly amount of money for being a citizen there. The left likely,use that to fear them into voting democrat, by suggesting they will ,lose it if they don’t vote Democrat (or for Murkowski same difference)

Like a politician said once, if you people on gov money, you will have a real fight on your hands if you ever try to get them off it again, or soemthing to that effect.
