Stevens is a convicted felon. It’s a disgrace that the election is even close.
A LOT of people in Alaska do not believe he got a fair trial.
SO, they voted for him, I know of several folks who would vote for “anything but MArk” as Beg-ich is so disliked.
IF Ted loses his appeal for a new trial, I’m sure he will step down and a special election will be heald, in which all of the local (R) egos (as many as 5) will run, spiltting the vote and giving to Mark - this time ‘fair and square’ (in the usual Alaskan stupid party way)
it’s a bit hypocritical to accuse begich of stealing the election when stevens himself is a crook
