I read their Election Day lasts until June 21st.
I guess it’s a matter of widespread areas of land, sparsely populated. i.e. The Dakotas.
I read as many as 48 people are running in that primary!

Hopefully Alaska will get out today and VOTE for Sarah Palin in the Special Primary. She is a GREAT person who will NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

She has to beat Santa Claus, ho embarrassing if she doesnt
Grizzly Rising.
I still think she lit the fire under Trump for 2016..........
I think that would be to Palin's advantage if the DEM managed to enter the final race. Otherwise all the DIM voters will put their votes for the best placed RINO.
By dropping out, that would give Palin a unified 50% result coming out of the primary.

Great to see her backk in politics!
Rupublicans altogether have 60.1% of the vote, as compared to the late Don Young’s 54.4% in 2020.
With her big lead in the 1st round, Palin goes into the runoff as the favorite. But, Begich cannot be counted out. The winner will probably depend on who eliminates whom in the runoff, when they start counting second preferences.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin leads in early results from Saturday’s special primary for the state’s only U.S. House seat, as voters whittled down the list of 48 candidates running for the position that was held for 49 years by the late U.S. Rep. Don Young.
The early results showed Palin, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, with 29.8% of the votes counted so far; Republican Nick Begich had 19.3%; independent Al Gross had 12.5%; Democrat Mary Peltola with 7.5%; and Republican Tara Sweeney had 5.3%.
The top four vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to an August special election in which ranked choice voting will be used. The winner of the special election will serve the remainder of Young’s term, which ends in January. Young died in March at age 88.

I can imagine a posse of MTG, Boebert, and Palin to counter the squad.
Palin led the way at exposing the bad guys on the Republican side. Trump then accelerated that exposure. Now we need to get rid of these exposed RINOs.
Palin’s endorsement of Trump before the Iowa primary gave Trump the momentum and bona fides he needed to win the primary. People forget what a huge part Palin played to lay the groundwork for Trump during those dark 8 years in the wilderness while Obama and the communists ran wild destroying this country.
Palin is such a deeply unappreciated patriot. She was fighting not just against the communists but against the Bush League Republicans
