Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski has taken the lead over Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka in the ranked-choice Senate contest that won't be resolved until at least next week. 

As of Saturday morning, Murkowski leads Tshibaka by fewer than 2,000 first-choice votes, with no candidate in the race claiming an outright majority that would end the election. Murkowski has 112,519 votes, 43.3% of the total vote share, and Tshibaka has 110,861 votes, 42.7%. 

The deadline to receive absentee ballots was Friday, Nov. 18, and the tabulation of second-choice votes is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Nov. 23.

Under Alaska's ranked-choice voting system, voters must list the four candidates who advanced from a jungle primary in order of who they prefer to win. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes on Election Day, the counting proceeds to a second round where the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. People who voted for that candidate have their votes redistributed to their second-choice. The counting continues until there are two candidates remaining and whoever has the greatest number of votes wins.

The old RINO battle axe and McConnell favorite Murkowski takes the lead in Alaska’s crazy ranked-choice voting, almost guaranteed to prevent a conservative from ever being elected.

McConnell diverted funding from Blake Masters to Murkowski.

Let’s not forget that Murkowski is NOT the Republican candidate. She is an “independent”. The real Republican is Kelly Tshibaka.

Appears the democrats and RINO Mitch are going to pull this one off.

Murkowski is garbage for underhandedly getting the election procedures changed just so her sorry ass could cling to power.

And against Tshibaka who was supported by the AK Republicans and Murkowski wasn’t because she said she would support Biden and his policies.

Mitch should have diverted funding from Masters to Laxalt instead. Masters was defeated soundly and I don’t think more money could save him.

Why should the supporters of the least-favored candidate get to determine which of the most-favored candidates wins?

Do you blame him? Murky always sides with the turtle. Masters would not.
