Thune will be tested if he winds up supporting Murkowski instead of her MAGA primary challenger.

Ranked choice voting is bull💩. They need it gone up there. Some Soros azz kissers tried to pass it here in Idaho and we voted it down. They’ll try again there ain’t no end to their liberal crap.

Thune may support Murkowski because he needs her vote in the US senate.
However, it won't make much difference.

LIARS tried to pass it here in Nevada, also.

THEY TRIED ALL KINDS OF VERBAL GYMNASTICS TO AVOID CALLING IT RANKED CHOICE VOTING

DIDN’T PASS

Kinda begs the question - did Alaskans actually vote for “Ranked Choice Voting” in the first place?

And of course if so, it necessarily follows, WTF were you thinking?

He will. She’s not up until ‘28. By then Trump can support her democrat opponent in the general. Why not if we’re safe in the senate and they nominate a geezer who can serve only one term?

One person. One vote.

Ranked choice essentially gives people more than one vote, (dare I use the term) disenfranchising the average American voter.

Ranked Choice Voting is a Leftist Construct. That is it. Nothing else.

It is something they pushed through, selling it as something to make sure that who the voters really wanted would get into office, when the dynamic clearly shows it is to make sure Leftists get into office.

If you went out on the street in either Alaska or Maine and randomly asked 1000 people to explain Ranked Choice Voting, I will bet money you would be lucky to get a single person who could cogently explain it.

Yep same here in Idaho. My wife was working for the GOP Women’s group locally. They raised all kinds of hell about how bad it would be. A lot of dummies were going to vote for it but it went down. Keep your powder dry. The slime will be back. Regards.

Maybe you need to do the old “grab them by the crotch “ test. Maybe they ain’t got no balls and are really RINOS. Just saying.

It didn’t pass in Oregon either.
That was a big surprise.
The democrats were too busy cheating in Portland to notice.

The Alaska GOP needs to try 18 more times if they have to.

The left never gives up. They’ll do something 18 times or more until they get the magical result they require.
