I have always believe rank- choice voting is very likely Unconstitutional.
According to Steve Deace, Iowa turned red by getting rid of primaries. He says that should happen everywhere and replace them with conventions or caucuses.
Fitting indeed
“rather than quitting, as she did when she was governor...”
I hear that a lot. Did she quit because the left was inundating her with frivolous lawsuits that would have bankrupted her family?
How much are the RATs paying him to stay in?
Palin kind of doomed herself when she got a Democrat elected governor of alaska.
How many of those Palin voters were Dems? I live in Los Anchorage and am unaware of any support for Sara Quitter,
This ranked choice crap is just that....crap.
We lost the closed primary and now the Dems have a clear path to perpetual victory.
“I live in Los Anchorage and am unaware of any support for Sara Quitter,”
I lived in Anchorage for 20 years and have a LOT of friends up there still. Please don’t believe the MSM; Sarah is loved there by many/most.
But the caucuses and conventions are still held separately by the parties. The Alaska ranked choice scheme eliminates any separate party selection process and lumps all candidates together on one voting slate.
Not an expert on Iowa, but they voted Red for Trump in the general election which is still a choice of the major party candidates in a normal voting process by the citizens. And they've been electing Republican Senator Grassley for decades.
I think separate, closed primaries is a better way to select candidates than caucuses or conventions. Now those might be better than open primaries in some states.
Re: 15 - She knew the rules. She agreed to play by the rules. She lost.
She’s a sore loser and should work to change the law instead of complaining and doing little else.
This violates 1 man 1 vote. The politicians are giving your vote to whoever they want.
Don’t know all the particulars, but it looks like:
One man gets THREE VOTES.
What the heck kind of an election is this anyway?
The politicians will keep counting till their candidate “wins”.
