In many ways, Alaska is really just a giant welfare state.

A lot of welfare recipients that want their cheese.

The fix was in from the get-go. Just look at Project Veritas and see how they cooked the game. This cow will always win over and over again until she is taken out feet first like they did McCain. This woman will never ever be defeated they have gamed the rules To give her constant victories. At the same time it doesn’t matter because polling is beginning to show the Republicans blew the big lead they had going into November. We’re in for a world of hurt and misery if they keep both houses. The Senate is gone. The house is a scary one too. I honestly pray I’m wrong! I usually am but this time it’s all or nothing do or die, for the survival of this nation, God help us if I’m right.

As I’ve been told by Alaskan friends, it’s a myth that Alaskans are rugged independent individualists.

Large demographic there of “gimmedats”.

it is an intra-party fight

the rinos control the party

they will lose elections rather than give up control

watch them starve all of the MAGA candidates who won primaries

If Begich doesn’t get out of the race, Sarah won’t win. The votes for the dem are in stone. The only way the GOP holders that seat is a one-on-one matchup.

Sarah had a post on a Insta yesterday about the special at large election. There were 30,000 ish votes still to count with Begich 6,000 votes behind her. If he remains in 3rd place, she gets his votes putting her in first place. At least that’s what I took from the post.

Like so many western states. A couple very blue cities essentially out vote the rest of the less populated red state.(e.g. Washington, Oregon....).

The Dem takeover of these cities (population centers) has been their strategy for years.

I heard Lisa pays off the Indian reservations.
But I’m wondering what is wrong with Alaska? You would think they would know how to vote and never let their politicians institute something like rank choice voting for the benefit of Lisa Murkowski. Crazy.

Sarah-4 candidates. Palin and Begich divide the GOP vote and the democrat slips in.

Not sure how their rank choice works, but I would imagine that the second choice preference of voters for Palin and Begich isn't for the Democrat.

Perhaps the Dem doesn't slip in.

Sadly, it looks like Murkowski will win and Palin will lose. Maybe Trump can go up to Alaska a few times and turn this travesty around.

Alaska is full of corrupt political families. Not sure why this has been sustainable.

I've heard others say this. Hopefully it's true.

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

Go to Hell!

Double rigged Special Election with the fourth candidate dropping out of this ranked choice election and essentially endorsing the Democrat over Sarah Palin who ends up splitting Republican votes with Nick Begich former Democrat turned Republican.

Sarah finishing second in the primary again showing she is the strongest Republican candidate over Nick Begich in November.

She and Begich with the Democrat Peltola and a fourth candidate set to be in the race for the full House term in November.

But the November election is still a rigged choice oh ranked choice show.

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

BINGO, that’s why she pushed this change in election laws last year. Designed for ultra rinos.

We have to wait for the second and third choices to be factored in to get the final result.

Stay Tuned.

If Sarah is winning they don’t want you to know until Friday night, they want to bury it.
