How is Lisa Murkowski Still in Office?

[1srelluc]

She's the (ugly) poster child for the folly of rank choice voting.

Ranked choice voting. They split the Republican vote because they don't have a primary.

Specifically, voters indicated their first and second choices on their ballots. Since no candidate won a first choice majority, the second choice votes were counted. The Democrats all chose Murkowski. If the Republicans had united around the other Republican candidate, this wouldn't have happened.

I'll bite, how is Lisa Murkowski still in office, because I don't have a clue.

​

Ranked Choice voting.

 

[Rawley]

Murkowski knows election fraud and thousands of illegals voting is a lie. Murkowski stood up for America and MAGAs attempts to steal the voting franchise from her citizens.

True, but irrelevant. Ranked-choice voting is simply wrong.

She was primaried out in the last election by the Republicans.

She ran as a "write in candidate" and the independents and Democrats put her in office.

She basically inherited the position from her father in 2002.

Murkowski's family is a political power one. Progressives have infected states over the decades.

How is dumb Don still in office?

By being spectacular

Your post is irrelevant to the OP.

Rank Choice voting should be mandatory across all 50 states. It will end the misery of extremist nutjobs getting elected to important positions. You know, like those nutjobs that continually lie about election fraud.

I know her father preceded her in the seat so she's a legacy politician.
Once somebody gets into office, unless they do something terribly egregious, it's almost impossible to remove them. The power of the incumbency is might indeed: money, name recognition factor, etc.
There are a million of these idiots.

Like Air, Heir Is Everywhere

Alaska is overwhelmingly conservative. Where did you get such a silly idea?

The Republicans in Alaska are not MAGA right wingers. The politicians holding office currently in Alaska are more moderate,

 

[Oddball]

Murkowski has a record of screwing things over for Republicans.

She is not a Republican except in name.

She fights for the wrong causes and has an ideology that is akin to Kamala Harris.

She opposed the SAVE act and has done much to get in it's way.

Senate Advances SAVE Act, But This Republican Decided to Stab Us in the Back

Senate advances the SAVE Act amid GOP infighting and filibuster debates over election reforms.

Why is she still in office?

Isn't Alaska a very red state?

She cheated, like the snotty, entitled legacy little beeatch on wheels that she is.

 

[busybee01]

She doesn't care about Election Integrity. I am sure she's your hero.

Now, the question is...how is she still in office?

You don't care about election integrity. You want to disenfranchise voters.

Well, there's the cure for that 3hr boner a guy might get from the side effect of those little blue pills.

Sorry your little meme doesn't fly here.

Voting is a time-honored right for those who are legal citizens.

Move to a country that more suites your chaotic views of the world.

Murkowski is a hack.

Right...Then her in-state toadies jammed down rigged choice voting to help her maintain the office, which is now in the process of being repealed...The Alaskans can see in high relief how they've been conned.

Trump carried Alask by 13 points over Harris.

Only a leftist would make such a comment.

Arizona blew it out of the water despite all the money the left sank into the referendum.
