Republicans Just Lost the Alaska House Seat

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Dear Republicans,

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

Sincerely,

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.

Wasn't Palin Trump's candidate?

 

[BackAgain]

Palin has been declared the loser. Could it maybe be that she lost her patina years ago?

Anyway, one whole house seat. Yessireebob. Definitely means the red wave is doomed. Definitely.

Victory for Rigged Choice voting. Such a bad system

Alaska doesn't like a serial quitter.

There it is...right on time.

Ranked clusterfuck voting elevates yet another schmendrick who didn't win the election.

Actually, they will redo this in November.

This result was the result of what may be unconstitutional ranked voting.

Great news! Thanks!

No, it means she lost last week's vote. And she was declared the loser because she lost. But keep laughing off Republican losses. Until you start screaming that it was rigged.

Palin lost to a DEMOCRAT?
In Solid Red Alaska?

It's going to suck for Palin to get spanked twice.

About 5,000 votes. Thank you voters.

They knew Palin from before, when Governor.

From that article in the OP:

Political observers say that the outcome of the special election will shape the November race. After just a few weeks to prove her legislative might in Washington, Peltola will enter the November election as the incumbent, with the associated fundraising advantages and visibility. Republicans will likely be galvanized to hone their messaging under the ranked choice voting system — which was narrowly approved by voters through a 2020 ballot measure — and encourage their supporters to rank both red candidates on the ballot.

So, realistically, this is a very shallow win for the Dem candidate. Good to November’s actual election.

Oh, and maybe some Republican solidarity via the abysmal ranked choice voting crap will help in the real election.

Read your own links:

Defeat for Palin closes the door on an immediate political comeback — but she is also on the ballot in Alaska’s regularly scheduled congressional election this fall, when the winner will earn a full two-year term.

However, I'm pleased Begich didn't win either.

I know. A seat in a reliable red state that you’ve held for 50 years doesn’t mean anything…

But…..but….TRUMP told Alaska to vote for Palin

 

[lennypartiv]

Wow, another rigged election. Dems have no shame.
