When I saw the VERY confusing returns from Alaska late last night, this was my fear. The democRAT candidate got more votes than Sarah Palin. And the 'RAT got more votes than the other GOP candidate, Nick Begich.

So it appears that Palin and Begich are splitting the GOP vote -- which gives each of them fewer votes than the democRAT.

So... the democRAT may very well steal that US House seat from Palin or Begich??

Ranked Choice voting should be outlawed somehow. Doesn't seem legal or Constitutional to me.

“Ranked Choice voting should be outlawed somehow. Doesn’t seem legal or Constitutional to me.”

Unfortunately, each state is responsible for it’s own election code, policies, and procedures. It seems that if we ever do convene a Constitutional Convention, which is being discussed, some basic additions could be made, one of which is the requirement of an official photo ID. Same-day/one-day voting. No machines. (It’ll probably never happen, though.)

Begich should drop out.

I’m sure the DS cabal have warned him to stay in....to split the vote...for the Dem.

Why are the Alaska election officials hiding the current 2nd and 3rd place votes . Begich is now third. How does the 2nd place votes look from him.
