Beautiful and smart Sarah Palin advances in the Alaska primary to next round!
NBC News reports:
[Three well-known candidates lead by former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin have advanced to the general election in Alaska’s special House race, NBC News projects.
Republican Nick Begich, the grandson of former Rep. Nick Begich, D-Alaska, and nonpartisan Al Gross, a surgeon, have also advanced to the general election, according to NBC News’ projection.
In August, Alaska voters will rank four candidates to determine who secures the House seat for the final months of the late Rep. Don Young’s term. Young held the seat for decades and died in March.
This is the state’s first use of open primaries and ranked-choice voting, a system that was implemented after a ballot measure in 2020.]
Here’s how the new voting system works: Alaskans cast ballots for single candidates in an open, nonpartisan primary race. The top four vote-getters advance to the general election, in which voters rank four candidates in order of preference. Any candidate who gets more than 50 percent of the vote wins the race. If no one gets a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and ballots cast for the eliminated candidate are recast for voters’ second choices. The elimination and retabulation process continues until only two candidates are left. The candidate with the most votes wins.

Our garden gnome, Hans, would make a better Speaker of the House than McCarthy.
That’s spot on!
> Beautiful and smart... <
What I disappointment! When I saw the first three words of the title, I thought this thread was going to be about me - although I do prefer “handsome” over “beautiful”.
Anyway, Palin as Speaker of the House would be awesome. But the old boy network there is strong. So it’s way more likely that they’ll shuffle Palin off to some unimportant committee.
Way to photo bomb the title.
The Honorable Sarah Palin, Speaker of The United States House of Representatives.
Lefty heads would explode over that! Hope it happens!
With this new voting method, can’t every Dem in the state vote her as 4....and knock her off?? Seems like an election method which can be easily rigged.
You’ve got to teach your kids not to step into the van.
GOOD for Sarah!!!!
Hope to see her in the House! It would take a miracle for her to become Speaker!!!!
But even if she is put on some unimportant committee, she could join Margery Taylor Greene in performing beyond her committee assignments!!! And she would do better than MTG!!!!
It is the 2nd and third choices of the candidates who come in 4th and 3rd that matter.
I hope you’re kidding. I would love to see her there, with MTG, but she’s older than me, for crying out loud. I doubt she could keep up with MTG, but I think she could help. We can count the non-RINOs in the House on, probably, one hand.
I hate when a voting system resembles a TV game show.
Damn the left is going to lose it when she wins. I don’t think she would take speaker position for awhile.
After that, I assumed that someone in a control room whispers the specifics in his earpiece.
Watch for the commies to take her to court two dozen times for driving a pickup truck on Fridays.
Can’t stand her voice. Tune out every time.
