Freepers don’t understand how this works in Alaska
The top four vote getters advance to general election 11-8
Then the weird counting starts again
If nobody then gets 50% plus one vote but you have to rank all four
They then throw out last place and count again using voters second choice as their “vote”
If still nobody wins majority in then a three way count
They count last time between final two
Where winner is clearly defined via ranking down to only two
It stinks to me and clearly favors moderates and is open to party shifts which is why murkowski pushed for it to become law
Alaska GOPe out outnumber Dems 2.5 to one
60% is unaffiliated but break GOPe
Hence 11-8 will likely be Murkowski and Tshkaki(sic)
And Murkowski should lose handily given in potus elections dems haven’t won since 1964 so few dems to votes to offset
And polls have Tshibaki way ahead in the lead up
A number of dems ranked Murkowski first as asked and solicited because they know a dem can’t win and they prefer her
But in the general with just her and trumper she will lose
Not enough dems to offset 20 to 30 points behind in polling
And the Alaska GOPe censured her and promoted this alternative to beat her
Ranked choice is a problem it’s too complicated first off
Closed primaries and runoffs is the best way
But in the general with just her [Murkowski] and trumper she will lose"
No.
The top FOUR -- not just the top TWO -- advance to November, where Murkowski will obviously reap all of the second-choice votes from the Democrat once Rigged Choice Voting kicks in after no candidate gets 50% on the first ballot.
And that will very likely be enough to put her over the top.
What Kelly needs to do in November is somehow get to 50% of first-choice votes so that RCV doesn't matter.
