Ranked choice voting. Big outside money. Remote villages where counting is slow. Murkowski getting reelected that way. Mid-term history.

Should we be worried? The left fights for keeps.

Once a senator gets elected or reelected all of their leftover money should be pooled and given to other candidates in the next cycle 2 years later. Winners will have 6 years to refill their coffers. Giving big bucks to John Cornyn in a primary is stupid unless the alternative is a sure loser.

Seems to be the easiest way to rig an election.

Voting should all be settled with the 2030 census. Good for 10 years. Too many people leaving blue states too fast. We’ve got 4 years to get the census right.

Why did Newsmax posted an old poll by a
FARRRR Left Group which I think was a Palin Hating Group ?

Newsmax desperate for HITs I see.

I don’t understand why people in this thread keep fulminating about ranked-choice voting. The main alternative, used in most states, is simple plurality election. If that were the rule and these polling numbers held up in the real voting, then Peltola would win with 49.1% of the vote. RCV creates at least the possibility that many of the minor candidates’ voters would rank Sullivan as their second choice, so that he moves ahead of Peltola.

With RCV, the Republican wins. Without RCV, the Democrat wins.
