Rank Choice Voting Isn’t Going To Reelect Murkowski

Must See Alaska

A poll by the left-leaning Change Research group pits Sen. Lisa Murkowski against two other candidates — Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka and former senatorial Democrat-backed candidate Al Gross. Tshibaka wins, hands down.

In the ranked-choice election method to be used in Alaska for the first time in 2022, Murkowski and Gross split the liberal vote in this poll. John Wayne Howe, who the pollster uses as a placeholder right-leaning candidate of the Alaskan Independence Party, trails in this poll.

In the poll, Tshibaka was ranked #1 by 39 percent of respondents, with Al Gross ranked first by 25 percent, and Murkowski ranked first by 19 percent.

The other big take away, “The poll also asked a more general question about Murkowski’s favorability rating, which shows that 84 percent of Republicans view Murkowski unfavorably, and 6 percent of Republicans viewing her favorably.” More

  1. I don’t get the rank voting thing.
    There is an election. The votes are counted and they figure something out. Then they count the votes and figure something else out. Maybe the do it again and figure something else out. Then they shuffle around what they just figured out and figure something else from that. Then they announce the winner.
    This is the old ‘pea under a walnut shell malarkey,’ or three card monte.
    I fear for our public. How screwed up have our last few elections been? And no one apparently noticed or remembered.
    This voting system is dis-functional and they want to make more so. And manipulable. And they want to keep it that way.

    Had she any dignity she would have backed the Ronny man 12 years ago; Joe! She, like the liberal who helped the Commie, and a write in Commie at that!; GWB have no morals as well.

    And “all the world” said a Commie, NOT EVEN ON THE BALLOT, could not beat a Ronnie man, Joe. The Rove/Bush/Soros team proved the world wrong!

    The Bush/Soros team will back her again!
