Ranked voting in action.
...exactly....
werent there 2 Repubs on ballot and one dem? The GOP sabotaged Palin.
...you have to love that "Rank"ed Voting...
I thought the election was in November? Why a special election?
So, Young died and this part was to fill his spot until Nov. Then we vote again on the 4 highest vote getters to see who actually gets the spot.
Dems are voting for Murkowski. 😠
...in Alaska, they have ranked voting which is a series of run offs...
Am I misunderstanding this? If you are allowed to put a second choice in case your first does not win, does that mean that Rs put the D as a second choice in a large enough number to give it the win? Is that correct?
From CNN
Those who ranked the third- or fourth-place candidate first would have their votes assigned to the highest-ranked remaining candidate on their ballots. For example: A voter who ranked the third-place finisher first, the fourth-place candidate second, the first-place candidate third and the second-place candidate fourth would, in this round, have their vote assigned to the first-place candidate.
But the second-place votes of those who backed Begich will be determinative.
So who believes this now? Will be interesting and telling to see if Palin rolls over and takes it if that is the case.
The problem is, beside the actual cheating, is that we have Begich stealing votes from Palin and democrats voting for their dem and for RINO Murkowski. We need prayers.
She is a fake McCain RINO people know this for a fact no matter what she says… she is the reason we are in this mess
That's a bit harsh. We're in this mess because of at least 100+ years of corruption beginning with the creation of the Fed, IRS, CIA, FBI, with Congress exempting themselves from the laws they pass. SP did not create that mess. I do think her 15 mins of fame are over.
That election was rigged, her and McCain were/are RINOs…
Well, I remember McCain picked her because she was actually a conservative. He had no support among the Tea Party or constitutionalist conservatives. Palin was meant to help him and she did! She was much more popular than him because of her conservative beliefs. In fact, the McCain campaign staff treated her horribly because she became the famous one on the ticket...she completely outshown McCain and he and his campaign decided to shut her down. They cut down on her time speaking and the events she would go to. McCain's ego coulldn't handle her popularity among conservatives and others.
That election was a rigged election and McCain/Palin sold us out… never again
Palin sold out to the TV networks after the rigged election
Total and complete clown world...
...just when you think it couldn't get worse....
Demand a hand recount, supervised by both sides, and a forensic analysis.
Failed VP candidate for McStain who quit her governorship to become a Fox News contributor.
She may have been unanimously loved in AK before 2008, but even if there was cheating, there's good reasons why Alaskans would vote against her... She was a bad choice to begin with...
How would you be in a position to know this? You have apparently forgotten that Palin came into the governorship on the strength of an anti-corruption effort she mounted against CORRUPT REPUBLICANS. She was the real deal. My former spouse's sister worked in Alaska and had occasion to interact with Palin, and according to her, Palin was a Real person, not a fake.
She resigned from the governorship because the Democrats had embarked on a "resistance" campaign to stymie any legislation she and the Republicans wanted to pass. It was a case of taking a sword in the chest in order to allow the war to be fought.
Go ahead. Enumerate the "good reasons." Who in this world was supposed to understand that John McCain was a traitor in 2008? Who understands it now? Sometimes the perfect is the enemy of "good enough."
Well for one, Alaska is a few degrees removed from the rest if the country. So how they do politics is a bit different from the rest of the lower 49- hell there's even variations from each state.
She may have been genuine for that time, but her resigning cause of "government resistance" sounds like giving up to me especially choosing to become a Fox News contributor... She have started anti establishment, but she eventually became the establishment and arguably still is.
McStain was also just a shit candidate, but now we know his purpose was to ensure Obama's ascension into the white house. She's never come out against McStain or the establishment since. So yes, I stand by what I said. She was a shit candidate to begin with.
Wow. (1) You don't like Alaska. (2) You don't like a "resistance" to Democrats. (3) Anyone on Fox is the enemy (Tucker Carlson?). (4) She was a running mate with McCain, therefore McCain microbes infected her and she is a "shit candidate." Nothing but prejudice and....prejudice. Actual facts and testimony don't count. Easy for you to "stand" by something when there is no challenge or risk involved.
..."you betcha"....
