The Alaska Senate race is headed to the ranked choice runoff process, as no candidate on the ballot, including top-two voter getters GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski and GOP challenger Kelly Tshibaka, will reach 50%, according to NBC News.

However the eventual winner of the contest shakes out, the seat will remain in GOP hands. The ranked-choice voting system is a method that allows voters in the state to rank candidates in order of preference.

Ranked Choice voting is designed to put people like Murkowski in office.

The dems second choice is always the assistant democrat. So Murkowski will win hands down on the second round.

How can that be avoided. There must be a way and since Alaska did NOT change their voting rules, we are faced with:

LOUSY MURKOWSKI returns to THE SENATE JUST BECAUSE MITCH WANTS HER THERE?

This sucks! It was Murky's lawyers who scammed the people and put into place this evil ranked choice voting in Alaska. Supposedly to keep Murky in power for life. And all her fellow Alaska democRATs.

Ranked choice voting and the jungle primary was the Murkwoski Protection Act. It will work.

No longer will she be subject to a party primary - no longer has to face the Republican Party members to decide if she gets on the ballot.

Mitchell McConnell disqualified himself working against Republicans. He must be stopped.
