My Congressman since I was a high school senior. Now I'm a Medicare senior. Republican Governor Dunleavy will appoint a successor.
To: AlaskaErik
Successors are not appointed to the house. There has to be an election.

Will ranked choice voting flip this seat?

Details were not immediately available.... Young, a Republican, had served in Congress since 1973. Young was the longest-serving member of the U.S. House, was in his 25th term and running for a 26th.
I'm going to hazard a guess here: Old age.
To: AlaskaErik
RIP Congressman. Thanks for your long, dedicated service.
To: AlaskaErik
I expect Democrats are going to be in a cat fight to see who runs for his seat. No idea who the Republican candidate will be. At least the sordid ranked voting that was foisted upon us will not go into effect before the special election.

Oh, yuk… I forgot about that “gift” bestowed for Murkowski’s benefit but will pollute other offices as well.
To: Lurkinanloomin
Will ranked choice voting flip this seat? That doesn't go into effect until the August primary and a special election will be held long before that.

You are correct:
Article 1, section 2, clause 4:
“When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.”

No. It does not. Senators can be appointed. Representatives cannot.
Read the Constitution.

I hope his soul will Rest In Peace. But can we stop electing Royalty?
