I bet you can’t rank the same person for all the slots can you.

The Dims and RINOs are counting on “ranked choice” to save Murkowski. True one-man one-vote voting and she’d lose.

Two points

If one candidate gets over 50%, then no ranking is done.

I understood that there were no be write in options in the second round (which makes sense as the first round’s purpose is to whittle the field to 4). The election info in Alaska is now advising that write ins are an option.

Maine has RCV.

NYC now has RCV for mayoral elections.

Those RCV provisions were in HR1 for a reason.

Just that I voted in the Alaska election yesterday. My additional comments, intended to appear below the pics disappeared due to my fumble fingers. This morning:

With 69% of the votes counted, it looks like Murkowski is edging out Tshibaka.

Palin is losing to Peltola (D) to replace Young, but at least Begich won't be going to DC.

Semi bright side is that Dunleavy is solidly in the lead in the Governor's race.
