right now, she looks to be in the catbird seat.
If I am underestanding how Ranked Choice works...

Begich, Nick REP 51,927 24.19%
Bye, Chris LIB 3,716 1.73%
Palin, Sarah REP 57,035 26.57%
Peltola, Mary S. DEM 101,441 47.26%
Write-in 540 0.25%

Even if all of Bye's and write-in's 2nd choices go to Peltola,(they wont) she doesn't get to 50+%.
They are now gone and it comes down to Begish's 2nd choices. Would they be for the Rat Begich ?

arg....Would they be for the Rat Peltola ?

arg...I was wrong - ingnorant of some facts.
I take it all back. There may not be a 2nd round.

The original votes haven't all been counted yet.

"Peltola could be in a position to win the election in the first round and make additional rounds unnecessary. But whether she will prevail in the first round may not be clear until toward the end of the month.

Alaska’s Division of Elections website states that early votes submitted between the Friday before Election Day and Election Day will be counted seven days after Election Day, meaning this coming Tuesday. Early votes submitted prior to the Friday before Election Day were counted on election night.

Regional elections offices can start counting absentee ballots seven days after Election Day. All absentee ballots must be counted no later than 15 days after a general election."

So...maybe not so Happy Thanksgiving.
Sorry.
Just shoot me.
