How long will it be before people in Alaska will be called “ranked-choice deniers”?
GOPe is all on this. Ranked voting saved Murkowski and killed Palin.
Horsefeathers.
Palin killed Palin. RCV is a deliberate means to ensure nothing but Dems get elected. Nothing more or less.
It destroys the notion of One Person, One Vote.
RCV is the biggest vote fraud scheme ever concocted by the Dems. They have so corrupted the voting process that it is impossible to get a true vote, which was their intent. Milei in Argentina said they’re going to paper ballots with ID checks. Which is what we need to do. And to hell with this RCV.
YES INDEED!
Very simple.
If Democrats can’t cheat or manipulated the vote, they can’t win in many states.

Once vested with authority and power every effort will be used to maintain it eternally.

Looks like we’re gonna get in NV too.
How do you rig an election...Use Ranked Choice voting...It’s like that shell game.
I view this as just another leftist gimmick to game the system. And they have more than one of these gimmicks by which to cheat a win.
I thought the Republican majority state legislature voted for rank choice. The Alaskan GOP choose their own shackles and demise!
So, when the Democrats are in power they force people to do things. OK, makes sense, that’s why you fight to get power.
How come when the Republicans are in power, they don’t do any forcing?
Every bit of this ONLY happens because we allow it. It happens because groups of people want to play nice and not make and Force tough decisions.
They live with their heads in the sand, aren’t all that affected in the financial sense, they can still attend their kids travel ball tournament on the weekend and get a new Tahoe, all is good with the world.
it defies the whole principal of One Man, One Vote...
You are wrong. Ranked voting is why Palin lost the house race in 22.
RCV was the Murkowski Protection Act. And unfortunately, Trump did a rally for the other Republican candidate specifically against Murkowski and that had the Democrats all abandon their own candidate and rally behind Murkowski to stick it to Trump, with solidified her standing from that point forward. Prior to that it looked possible she might not even make the final cut.
As far as the House seat, there was already a Republican in the race that could have won outright had he been the soul candidate and Palin should not have gotten in - she split the vote, and the reality is that she was, and is, one of the most unpopular political figures in Alaska...her popularity is roughly the same as Biden’s.
