What is wrong with Alaska ? Ranked system voting, which is designed to protect incumbents.
AK is the only state in the country to have it. It needs to be abolished which unfortunately won't happen because the pol's there will never allow it.

Another way of looking at these results is that in an open primary 58% voted against the Hag based on early returns. I expect the rural vote, which is apparently not yet in, will go even more heavily against her. It now a matter of projecting how many Dems who supported the Dem candidate Chesbro will vote for the Hag in November. The other top four Republican, Kelley, should do the right thing and drop out.

The other Gopers that voted for others may vote
for Kelly in the general. Trump needs to put
money into this election if he wants the HAG out.

Maine has RCV, too.

Alaska has a funky ranked choice voting system, the top 4 candidates advance to November, it would hard to imagine Murkowski not advancing, the race is not over, it just means that we have a couple of months left to destroy Murkowski’s political career.

This small detail you mentioned, really needs to have a closer look. It would REALLY be enlightening, to know HOW many people went to the polls in Alaska..and crossed over and wanted to hijack the Trump choice. Can we elaborate on this?
I see this as well as election meddling. Again the DEMOCRATS use nefarious methods to ram rod their ideas.

What is wrong with Alaska ? Tribal votes.

Murkowski is likely to be asked to join the Democrats.

So that means this seat will turn over to a Democrat? As much as I dislike Murkowski, I don’t want that to happen. I know what you mean. I "had to" to vote for Mitch McConnell the last time he ran because the alternative was far, far-left Amy McGrath, who claims to be the most liberal person in Kentucky.
I usually don't vote FOR people; normally, I vote AGAINST their opponent.

Murkowski is a Democrat in all but name, most of her voters are Democrats.

The Hag came in first at 44% with Tschibaka at 40%. What the Hell are Alaskan republicans thinking?? That 4% could be Democrats for Murkowski trying to eliminate her opposition.
