A small population plus immigrants from California, Oregon and Washington State.

AK is full of RINOs of every shape, size, and degree. Maybe it’s the Canadian influence

They’ve got to get rid of these wonky new primary voting systems (and open primaries) because they’re way too open to fraud and numerical manipulation.

What about going back to the “whoever gets the most votes cast by registered voters of their party on voting day is the winner” model?

Precisely. I thought Alaskans were supposed to be pro freedom.

I’ve heard thar it was Murkowski’s attorney who either invented this method, or was responsible for bringing it into Alaska.

Pretty convenient for Murkowski to make up the rules.

“Isn’t Alaska red?”

Yes — supposed to be. In 2020 they went for Trump 53%.

I can’t believe LM is running so high there. She voted with the RATs on gun control. And IIRC she has voted in ways that would harm the oil industry there.

But when you make up the voting rules — ranked choice — you get to win.

Ranked choice voting was a ballot initiative approved by Alaska voters.

“THEY CHEATED IN NEARLY ALL THE STATE”S AND STOLE ALMOST EVERYONE’S VOTE.”

I don’t think it’s “nearly”, as it was done in ALL the states.

Lindell has some “summit” very soon where every state will be giving a report on how the cheating was done in their respective states.

Need to repeal both RCV and open primaries. Clean it up. Paper ballots. Election Day only.

“That’s likely to go a bit higher with the precincts outstanding.”

IIRC, the bush villages take a while to report. They usually vote for the candidate that’s most likely to give them new snow machines every year, and other handouts. That’s after they leave their current snow machines on the lake in the winter so they’ll disappear when the ice melts during spring breakup.

Of course. Who was responsible for getting it on the ballot? The initiative didn’t just fall off a tree and on to the ballots.

What the hell are Alaskans thinking??

After EVERYTHING Trump did for the Alaskan economy, and how the Vegetable has stopped all of the drilling that brought money into that state! What a bunch of idiots!

The more complicated you make the system, the more chances there are to cheat and game the system.

Ranked Choice voting involves lots of ballot counting and recounting.

It has not worked will in Australia and New Zealand, in my opinion.

I didn’t realize it until today that the voters voted this. They wanted rank voting. Red state voters certainly can be strange.

Republicans should be running ads about Murkowski’s vote for Gorsuch and Barrett (I think she voted for her). And tie it to her being pro life. We know it’s not true but you’ve got to come at her from the left if you want to beat her, she’s already as weak or ad strong as she’s going to be from the right.
