Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election to fill Alaska's House seat for the remainder of 2022, according to unofficial results released by the Alaska Division of Elections, thwarting former Gov. Sarah Palin's bid at a political comeback -- at least for a few months. Peltola emerged as the victor Wednesday when Alaska's Division of Elections tabulated ranked-choice ballots in the state's first use of the system.

Too many variables to come to that assumption. Let’s see what a higher turnout does in November.
No way does Petola win in a head to head match with Palin.
Ooops meant to say Democrat.
This is just the remainder of the 2022 session. Will there be another election in November?
May rank choice voting wither and die.
Glen Youngkin is an example of a candidate that successfully unified the party. He got good margins and turnout in Trump country and made inroads in suburban Biden areas.
It doesn’t have to be either/or.
Not an assistant Democrat? So why are so many of HIS VOTERS willing to get a liberal Democrat elected instead of voting for a conservative then?
What dooms Palin is a rigged system and a GOPe that would rather lose than have a MAGA candidate win. The ranked choice system was pushed by Murkowski.
Because of Palin’s negatives. It’s really that simple, whether you like it or not.
Youngkin also won a RCV primary. The lunatic fringe moron class tried to push Amanda Chase and she would have lost to McAwful by 20 points.
Youngkin has turned out to be a fantastic Governor.
Love you Sarah, until next time. She’s too good for that Moo Cowski state, politcally.
Well said. Kristol is all over this thread.
Corrupt political families won, the citizens lost.
I’m shocked....NOT!
This is the land of LYIN’ MurCOWski, after all.
Sarah needs to move to Texas and take on Corny Cornyn.
He was played by Kim Jong un and we have provided extensive evidence of how he sold out our US troops in South Korea by drawing down the readiness maneuvers unilaterally to appease both Kim and socialist Moon in the South )which the new Conservative Yun administration and Seoul has now thank his re-instituted, and the fact that 17 SRB and IRB Missile tests still occurred threatening Japan re-commenced under Trump since 2019 and he did nothing in addition to DPRK prison camp conditions but silence from him about them for three years to appease and curry favor … So are you lining up your ducks with the bloody Communist regime in Pyongyang? Good luck with that. YES I am the guy who proved seven ways to Sunday the Trump appeased North Korea and we got nothing out of it in return and we’re in an even more dangerous situation now under both him and foolish Biden.
Sarah Palin should have just stayed out of this and Nick Begich would have won. No one even knows where she lives anymore. Alaska? Some other state?
At this point, she’s style over substance.
I don't know his this forum can be so detached from reality some times.
Nevermind the voters picking the Democrat over Palin for second choice being detached from reality.
Right?
So, the Republican candidates got 58.7% of the vote but the Democrat won. What a joke the ranked choice system is.
BINGO!
So you’d agree those voters aren’t conservatives, right? Seems to me that if you’re really committed to advancing conservatism you will vote for whoever you need to to do that. Case in point? I actually don’t like DJT very much as a person and would prefer that he not run again. I voted for him over Cruz in Indiana’s primary back in 2016 because I wanted to get the damn thing over with so we could start consolidating our forces against Hilary and of course I voted for him in November. I voted for him more enthusiastically in 2020 and will vote for him for a fourth time in 2024 if he wins the nomination in order to prevent a catastrophic second term for Biden.
These Alaskan voters aren’t conservatives. In general, far too many of “our voters” hate other Republicans more than they fear the Democrats who are destroying the country right before their eyes. The Democrats don’t have that problem with their people. They tell them to jump and those f***ers always say “how high?”.
Idiot Alaskan’s. Too many stupid illegal immigrants,(liberal commies), migrated into the state from Washington, OreGONE and Kalifornia. Those Bastards screw up their homes voting for dimocRAT’s then take their shitshows on the road to their new homes in escape from their last voting debacle. Damn I hate liberals.
