New Democrat poll shows Republican Kelly Tshibaka beating Murkowski and Gross in ranked-choice voting scenario

A poll by the left-leaning Change Research group pits Sen. Lisa Murkowski against two other candidates — Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka and former senatorial Democrat-backed candidate Al Gross. Tshibaka wins, hands down.

In the ranked-choice election method to be used in Alaska for the first time in 2022, Murkowski and Gross split the liberal vote in this poll. John Wayne Howe, who the pollster uses as a placeholder right-leaning candidate of the Alaskan Independence Party, trails in this poll.

In the poll, Tshibaka was ranked #1 by 39 percent of respondents, with Al Gross ranked first by 25 percent, and Murkowski ranked first by 19 percent.

When the second choice votes are recalculated and reassigned, as they will be in Alaska’s ranked-choice process, Tshibaka wins over Gross. Many of the poll participants who had Murkowski as their first choice, picked Gross as their second. The final tally is Tshibaka over Gross 54-46.

Looks like Ranked Choice will not be saving Lisa Murkowski.

Awesome. I hope Murky is soundly defeated.

I expect her to go full-bore Democrat until the end of her term if she is defeated, however.

Exactly. Perhaps these people aren’t figuring in the cheating. Naive.

Murkowski got primaried then won anyway by a writein vote. Her family name carries a lot of weight in Alaska.

Poor Murkowski. Ranked choice will finish her off. She can't pull the same trick she used the last time she lost the Republican primary. Chuckle.

Um, she can't do that this time because of ranked choice. Not to mention her family name now carries about the same weight as the Bushes. She's done.

I hope you’re right but I’ll believe she’s gone when I see it.

Ranked choice. She can’t stand again when she gets clobbered in the primaries.
Not to mention this is Alaska not Chicago or Detroit. There is no big majority BLM cities there for them to cheat in.

Murky is there until 1 of 2 things happens:

1) Deep State wants her gone

or

2) AK repeals RCV and goes back to dumb voting machines.

Just out if curiosity, did you read the report on vote fraud that was put out by Antrim County, Michigan?

HR1 will not pass. Manchin and Sinema are not voting for it. Sorry.

Just out of curiosity, what massive ballot fraud cases came out of Alaska in the last election?
Answer: NONE.

Murkowski is gone in 2022 using, using the same voting machines that gave President Trump a massive win in 2020 in Alaska.
