So did he get over 50% so it doesn’t go to rank choice?

Or did it go to rank choice and enough of the 3rd place votes went to him on second round?

Regarding the Alaska house being called, I don’t know what the details are regarding rank choice. The one site I checked shows him in the 49% range but winning, so I’d have to guess that it was given him through rank choice.

see what i did awhile ago https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4273931/posts?page=4475#4475

Note the info on Ranked Choice - https://www.elections.alaska.gov/election-results/

Here's the latest summary.

https://www.elections.alaska.gov/results/24GENR/ElectionSummaryReport.pdf

The U.S. House election is Ranked Choice Voting. Begich never hit 50% and lost ground.
The results of the rounds wont be available until 15 days after the election - 11/20/2024

The last precinct finally showed up and was counted.
135 registered voter; only 37 ballots.
Another anomaly, they voted for Pres. Trump over Harris 21-5 but voted for Peltola(D) over Begich(R) 14-9.

Peltola needs damn near all what's left to win.(write-ins are removed from the voting rounds).
She'll probably be Hafner’s(D) voters 2nd choice. It will probably come down to Howe's ranked choices...

I'm not holding my breath.

I thought Sarah Palin was going to be a lock after the first round, and she got whacked.
