Ranked Choice Voting in Alaska

Alaska uses ranked-choice voting for first time in special election with Sarah Palin

On Tuesday, for the first time, Alaska voters will use ranked-choice voting -- and it'll be for a special general election to fill the state's only House seat following the death of Republican Rep. Don Young. Three candidates advanced from a crowded special primary in June: Sarah Palin, the...

Voters in the state had approved a ballot initiative in 2020 in favor of using ranked-choice voting in their general elections. The initiative also created a nonpartisan primary which sends the top four vote-getters, regardless of political affiliation, to the general election. (The fourth candidate in June's special primary, Al Gross, withdrew shortly thereafter.)

Good news that more states are starting to move to this. It might be the one thing that can break the stranglehold of the duopoly.

I thought they were already doing this kind of thing in CA with conservatives complaining about getting locked out in the general. I guess it’s all in where you are, the top 3 in AK likely being all Republicans.

It won't matter, that RINO bitch will run a write-in campaign and win.

what its going to do, assuming this is really the future, is make swing states all the more important...
...With Texas, Florida, New York and California already in the bag for their respective voters, states like Wyoming, New Mexico and the Dakotas are going to enjoy a campaign money windfall that is sure to make them smile and their puny electorate is going to be treated with the same kind of prominence as the big boys.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Now if we can just get all the states to do like ME and NE and quit with the "winner take all" for electors.

I would not count on Texas being "in the bag" for the GOP much longer.

If only we could get congressional districts determined by geographical compactness and computer-generated to eliminate human bias.

that would be nice as well. The only thing I would correct is that even computer-generated have human bias since humans program them, but it removes most of it.

A human is writing it, thus you cannot remove all human bias

Not for anything but I didn't say they were in it for them now

When is the last time Texas was Blue?

 

[SweetSue92]

Murkowski advances and so does the Trump backed Kelly Tschibaka. Huh.

 

[22lcidw]

Palin is a RINO Bitch?

Damn, who knew.

The Murkowski family is a regional power entity. Like Dukes and Duchesses in Britain. Massive power interest infects lower population areas enough to turn politics to their side or ways.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

The last time the Steelers visited?...why are you asking me this? Was it during Ann "silver foot" Richards reign?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

then which voters were you referring to if not the GOP voters? Do you think the DNC voters have Texas in the bag right now?
