Republicans Just Lost the Alaska House Seat

[excalibur]

Please point to the section of the constitution which ranked choice voting violates.

One man, one vote. SCOTUS.

If he could only read....

One man, one vote. SCOTUS.

I guess Sarah will run again in November.

Dear Republicans,
Keep pretending that Dobbs and Trump don’t matter to the electorate.

Dear Real World,

Sorry to bust your bubble again but you left out two important facts. Your own article if you had actually read it says that Peltola only topped Republican Sarah Palin after ballots were tallied and after votes for third-place GOP candidate Nick Begich III were redistributed to his supporters’ second choices.

Meaning that somehow that stupid devising weighting system was snuck in by democrats where you have to make multiple picks which tends to favor most people's SECOND choice.

Oh and this Fall, Sarah will still be on the ballot.

Democrat Mary Peltola wins special U.S. House election, will be first Alaska Native elected to Congress

Peltola, a former state lawmaker from Bethel, topped Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin after ballots were tallied and votes for third-place GOP candidate Nick Begich III were redistributed to his supporters’ second choices.

It might educate some politicians.

Remember, this is a temporary situation. There'll be another election in November and the same House seat will be on the ballot.

From this conservatives have to learn to refrain from putting multiple candidates on the "ranked choice" ballot. When two or three conservatives seen the same office and liberals can only muster one pitifully weak opponent it will always play out that the loser among them wins.

But given the outcome of today's indoctrination-in-lieu-of-education system I doubt there any capable of doing the math.

Stick a fork in America: We're done because we done it ousrselves. Your children will have a lower standard of living that your grandparents. Unless, of course, your grandparents or parents were illegals who fled from the very sort of regime they are replicating.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

I think it was 36.6% to Sara's 30%.

The Anchorage Daily News reported (with a few votes still uncounted):

“Peltola had 39.7% of the first-choice votes to Palin’s 30.9%. In the instant runoff, Peltola ended up with 91,206 votes to Palin’s 85,987, or 51.47% to 48.53%.”

It was definitely an upset. There is no proof that Peltola will win again in November. But if she doesn’t make any mis-steps she has a good shot.

Despite — or perhaps because of — Trump’s backing for the unpopular Palin, and despite all the big Republican money in the state which supports Palin too, fed up independents, anti-Trump Republicans and women and men who support abortion (unlike Palin) may again make the difference.

It helps that Peltola is not a radical Democrat and is an experienced and appealing candidate. Alaska remains a “red” state, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon.

She's gone Donnie.

Now she's pushing you away.

The real election is in November, shit for brains!

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Why is it that trumps and palin both absolutely love to kill things?
Rome was addicted to killing and bloodlust right before it's fall as well.

Maybe democrats running AK will bring some sense back to AK politics

Oh look. It's the phony admiral. Now thats the shit.

That's not in the Constitution.

Palin kills to eat.

Is Trump a hunter too?

At least Don Jr. is a hunter.

It is the law of the land.

So, middle ground then. If the GOP legislators in the various states (it now being a state and not a federal issue) agree to such reasonable limits to abortions, do you think our Dem legislators might at long last embrace life and agree to end abortion on demand for mere convenience?

No, and mind your business.

 

[BackAgain]

No, and mind your business.

Fuck yourself and go play in traffic.

Innocent lives are everyone’s business. And if you don’t like it, who gives a rat’s twat?

Sorry, Ex, but you are incorrect. Perhaps you could link to the applicable portion of the Constitution.

 

[XponentialChaos]

It means that America gets stupider by the minute…that’s all.
Democrats have done nothing for the poor / middle-class (all of that native shithole) but fuck their asses and the dumbmotherfuckers vote on emotion to fuck themselves….Fuck it, let it burn to the ground…I’ve lost all faith in my fellow Americans.

Sorry, Ex, but you are incorrect. Perhaps you could link to the applicable portion of the Constitution.

It is how SCOTUS ruled long ago, thus the law of the land.

What was the case and what did SCOTUS decide? I now the answer as to what "one man, one vote" means. Unfortunately, you do not, yet!
