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.

Of course she took the “lead” big shock..the fix was always in
ranked-choice voting is another voting scam
Soros to election officials: “Always try hard to look surprised.”
McConnell diverted funding from Blake Masters to Murkowski.
Rank choice another rat voter fraud scam
But of course..... everyone voted for that shriveled up old commie dontcha know. Fair elections and all.
you get one vote...not two or three
Everyone show us your shocked face!!
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.
>crazy ranked-choice voting, almost guaranteed to prevent a conservative from ever being elected.
Nevada is next for this. Dominion saw to that.
I see absolutely NO REASON to ever vote again. Ever. Change my mind.
The fix was in from the beginning.
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?
When will we ever be rid of this ugly snake? Aside from shenanigans many people consistently vote for mookowski. WHY????
Agreed. It’s CLEAR that the gubmint has stolen this country from us via STOLECTIONS.
Do you blame him? Murky always sides with the turtle. Masters would not.
