Starting at 4 p.m. Wednesday, the state Division of Elections will livestream the ranked vote tabulation for Alaska’s special U.S. House election. Only first-choice votes had been released up to this point after the Aug. 16 election, and the release of the ranked vote results should provide a clearer picture of who Alaska’s next U.S. representative will be: Republican Nick Begich III, Republican Sarah Palin or Democrat Mary Peltola.
You can watch the livestream on the Division of Elections’ Facebook page. The video will be added to this story once election officials start streaming. Division of Elections Director Gail Fenumiai will narrate the results as they appear on screen.

Ranked voting like voting for your favorite ice-cream .LOL
This is pure craziness that Alaska is doing with their election system.
Right - taking weeks if not months to determine a winner in an election because, unless someone wins outright clearly and convincingly, you have to have 100% of the votes tabulated before anything can really be known about how the election is going.
This could be the big day that liberals — of both parties — have been praying for.
No matter which way this election goes, Rigged Choice Voting is going to make it closer than it had any right to be, and that’s good enough for liberals to start funneling dark money (like they did in Alaska) into as many other states as possible to get the ignorant voters of those states (like they did in Alaska) to approve this leftist scheme elsewhere.
Modest initial targets will probably be “Republican-but-NOT-conservative” states like Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska, etc.
But those are small potatoes; the really big prizes would be Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio — states where Republicans are holding on by narrow margins. Rigged Choice Voting would flip them very quickly.
Election results were announced much more quickly back in the days of paper ballots.
Yes I know this ranked Choice voting creates some issues. But are these votes tabulated by some computerized system? If so then it should have been possible to quickly determine thr nsxt steps in ranked choice voting.
How is this even Constitutional? Isn’t it one man one vote? This is pure slight of hand.
It will be pretty quick. At this point, all the votes are accounted for. No one reached 50% +1 vote, so it goes to everyones second choice, which we are hoping most of Begich’s second choice was Palin. If that doesn’t happen, we are stuck with a Rat Representative until the November election at least.
“Republican-but-NOT-conservative” states like . . . Idaho
??????????
What exactly is your idea of a conservative state?
Wyoming did elect Chenery several times.
so much for one person one vote...
As long as it’s not 81 million votes.
Any links for those of us who do not have Facebook accounts?
that is the best thought i’ve seen...
And now Wyoming has finally done the right thing, in overwhelming fashion. Also at least Wyoming has one decent conservative Senator (Lummis). I’m not so sure Idaho can say that.
Idaho had a chance to elect a true conservative as Governor this year but blew it in the primary, and IIRC all but one of the other statewide offices (Labrador for AG was the exception) were won by RINOs as opposed to conservatives.
Plus any state with two hyper-Republican congressional districts which routinely wastes one of them on a complete RINO squish like Mike Simpson (but he is a nice fit for his hyper-Mormon electoral base since they’re squishes too)....
“Republicans” win regularly in places like Idaho and Kansas and Utah; conservatives much less often. Maybe it’s because everyone knows that Democrats normally don’t have much of a chance in these states — so Democrats simply call themselves Republicans when running for office.
Palin lost.
Candidate quality absolutely matters. This is why you don’t chase the celebrities on your Facebook feed and what the Grifter Pundit tells you.
People need to recognize and vote for ELECTABLE candidates.
i don’t see how it’s legal...
Ranked voting is easy to manipulate. It’s stupid.
