I don’t get how the result is any different without ranked choice. Moocow won on the first round, too.

“No itis just obvious.”

More like wishful thinking.

The opposite is actually true, more states are going that way.... And I actually have a source.

These locations are liberal enclaves which tells the story. Alaska is Repubican and I think they will surely repeal it as a mistake.

OK, the last I had heard Tshibaka was up by a few points, but I see that 10 days after the election, Murkowski took a slight lead in the first round.

Regardless, I still think rank choice voting is ridiculous based on principle. I find it amazing the lengths the Dems and RINOs will go to give themselves any advantage their imaginations can think up. And it is embarrassing how long Alaska takes to count votes. Most third-world countries do it much better. I know there are people in wilderness areas but that’s not where most of the residents are, and winners should be declared much more rapidly unless the margins are very tight.

Hey, Henry J. Gomez, what was Zombie Joe's endorsement record in the mid-terms?

Oh wait that's right, only 5 candidates even asked for his endorsement. LOFL.

"Sen. Lisa Murkowski has won re-election in Alaska, dealing former President Donald Trump another loss in what has largely been a miserable midterm cycle for his hand-picked candidates in competitive Senate races."

1 man 1 vote means nothing in Alaska.
You vote and it can go to anyone but who you want.
