Well, the left has got one. On Twitter and beyond, you’ve never heard such crowing.
According to Politico:
Democrat Mary Peltola has defeated Republican Sarah Palin in the special election for Alaska’s vacant House seat, a big upset over the former governor in the state’s first election under ranked-choice voting.
Peltola, a former state legislator who will become Alaska’s first indigenous member of Congress, defeated a special election field that included Palin and another Republican, Nick Begich III. The Democrat finished first in the initial tally and then won enough second-choice votes from Begich’s supporters to see off Palin, who had former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and previously won a statewide campaign in 2006.
That 60% of the state could vote for a Republican, yet the seat should nevertheless go to a Democrat, is bitter news indeed for the Republicans. Ranked-choice voting, which in Alaska was introduced in this election, where the voters whose candidate is eliminated get to vote a second time, through their second choices, pretty well left enough holes for the Democrats to walk away with the seat. more
As it was meant to.
Sarah was MAGA before there was a MAGA.
The leftists have to destroy her for the same reason they have to destroy DJT
Alaska changed the way they tally votes and a D goes to D.C. for the first time in 49 years.
That looks suspicious.
Typical FRAUD and VOTE TAMPERING by society’s lowlifes and vulgars.
If this scheme takes hold nationwide, you will see two republicans against one democrat in every election. The dems will run a phony Republican to split the vote, and the Republican Party is too stupid to figure it out.
Go ahead and blame ranked choice voting. Pay no attention to the fact that the Republicans split their vote among EIGHT candidates while the Democrats focus their vote on ONE.
Look at Arizona where we have a Democrat Senator (Kristen Sinema) who votes father to the right than the RINO (Jeff ‘the’Flake) ever did!
