Mary Peltola’s win in the Alaska special election this week became the latest surprise to spark concern for Republicans as it appears that a once presumptive red wave in November is neither definite nor guaranteed.

Peltola, the first Alaska Native and first Democrat in decades to be elected to fill the state’s lone House seat, edged out two formidable Republican challengers on Wednesday, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), to serve the remainder of the late Rep. Don Young’s (R) term.

1. Ranked Voting.
2. Palin abandoned Alaska for Arizona. Voters remember stuff like that.

Remember that during the 1700’s Revolution the Colonies were about 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 .

I’m not so sure. Read the war histories and the Patriot militias turned out in much larger numbers than the Tories. The FF were astute statesmen, they wouldn’t challenge the greatest military power of the time with only one third support from the people.

Warning to all states and counties and towns: Do NOT allow ranked choice voting. The mediocrity wins.
Rank choice voting is funded by George Soros. So you know it is no good at all.

“I’m not so sure.”

I’m not so sure either, but it could be that the MAGA 1/3 convinced the middle 1/3 that they needed to be on the side of the strong horse.
