JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican Nick Begich has won Alaska’s U.S. House race, defeating Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola to claim the seat once held by his grandfather.
Begich was among the opponents Peltola defeated during her special and regular election wins in 2022, following the death of Republican Rep. Don Young. Young had held the seat for 49 years. Peltola, who is Yup’ik, was the first Alaska Native in Congress.
Republicans, seeking to maintain control of the House, eagerly sought to win back the seat.
Wednesday marked the deadline for elections officials to receive ballots mailed from overseas for the Nov. 5 election, and it was also when ranked choice vote tabulations were done. State officials were targeting Nov. 30 to certify the general election.
Begich, in a statement on social media, said Alaska has great potential, “but much work remains for Alaskans to fully realize that potential. I am committed to fighting for our jobs and economy, protecting our unique way of life, and ensuring that our voices are heard loud and clear in Washington.”

Here’s the depressing part. Alaskans voted against the repeal of RCV. So, this idiocy continues in Alaska in future elections.
Well that sucks! I had heard earlier that Prop 2 passed.
“The final margin for Ballot Measure 2, pending certification, is 664 out of 340,110 votes, with “No” outpacing “Yes” 50.1% to 49.9%.”

Whew! Needed this one!
We picked up Gonzalez in CA.
We should have 222?
Statistical bullshit. A little too convenient for that outcome to happen..
I thought for sure it would pass...it shouldn’t be. We’ve had single voting forever...they want to do it locally...fine...but for a Federal Election...you get one vote.

Only 16 days to count ~315,000 votes... A little over 19,500 votes per day. Guess the monkey got tired easily and required breaks.
” Republican Nick Begich”
What does Begich rhyme with?
They chose Begich and not that.
Here’s what Google says about RCV. So now you know it’s wrong…
Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference
That’s because they’re stupid. Very simple
