Leftist newspaper reveals Dems strategy to vote for Murkowski to defeat Tshibaka
Alaskawatchman.com ^ | 8/13/21

Posted on 08/14/2021 5:38:25 AM PDT by cotton1706

Aleftist monthly newspaper, Sol De Medianche, recently published an article instructing Alaskan Democrats on how to harness the state’s new ranked choice voting scheme in order to defeat surging conservative candidate Kelly Tshibaka. She is seeking to unseat U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski who has fallen out of favor with Alaska’s Republican Party for supporting a litany of anti-conservative policies.

Published last month, the article by Gabriel Dawson lays out a somewhat complicated strategy that requires Democrat voters to actually refrain from listing their top candidate as their first choice, which would typically be a Democrat such as Al Gross.

Under the new rules of ranked choice voting, Alaskans will first be asked to rank their top four candidates in the April 2022 primary. Every candidate, regardless of party, will be on a single ballot. The top four vote-getters will then go on to the general election.

This is nothing new. Democrats want to choose their Republican opponent, or short of that, help get a Democrat in Republican clothing elected or re-elected.

They're just open about it now.

Yes, exactly. RCV is a communist plot.

What kind of vermin is Murkowski that she supports, nay encourages this hypocrisy?

Alaskans’ future is in their hands.

Murky is scum.

Sounds logical. She votes with Rats 99% of the time *plus* it would be great for MSLSD to use words like “bipartisan” when speaking of her.

IIRC Murkowski comes from old Alaskan money, the squishy type that happens so often to the g-g-grandkids of the old millionaires.

Murkowski is the daughter of former U.S. Senator and Governor of Alaska Frank Murkowski.

Add in having Dems cross over to vote and you have a recipe for a RINO.

Yes. Ranked choice voting does gives aid and comfort to the internal leftist enemies of the nited States.

What is needed is a complete vote for each legal voter. In such a complete vote, for each office on the ballot the voter can vote for or against the candidate of choice. For each candidate, the sum of negative votes is subtracted from the sum of positive votes to give the net votes. The candidate with the most positive (or least negative) net votes wins.

Thus, for two unworthy candidates, a voter can cast a negative vote for the candidate considered the worst, rather than having to vote for the proverbial “lesser of two evils.”

This “complete vote” will probably have to be forced onto politicians who like to consider a winning vote as a “mandate of the people.” Winning by having the least negative net vote would temper such a claim.

Simple solution is for everyone to not vote for Lisa at all...start the campaign adds...tell everyone do not check the box for Murkowski at all. And she is out, never gets on the ballot. That said don’t underestimate the Democrat fraud machine...remember..Di Fi came to her rescue a few years ago...

States that allow crossover voting in primaries keep conservative Republicans out of office.

There needs to be a concerted effort to change all of those states to single party primaries.

When on Guam, I crossed over to vote in the Democratic primary against Madelyn Bordalleo (Madame Bordello). I filled out the rest of the ballot with names lime Spiderman and Mickey Mouse.

A rhetorical question no doubt.

That’s a very good idea — which is why the RNC (which surely supports the ultra-liberal Murkowski) wouldn’t dream of running such ads. Kelly T. better have a lot of her own money to spend if she wants to educate the voters of Alaska regarding how to defeat this Democrat scheme.

I know of others who voted in such ways. But I consider the ballot box sacred and vote for whoever I want to win. If there is no such person I leave it blank, or write in someone I wanted to run.

In this case, whoever won that primary was going to win the election. Voting for Michael San Nicholas was the object.
