Alaska’s Ranked-Choice Voting Scheme Was A Plot To Save Murkowski, But It Also Doomed Palin

In order to avoid a Republican primary, Murkowski operatives orchestrated a takeover of state election laws.

Election officials called Alaska’s special election House race for Democrat Mary Peltola over 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin last week. Peltola’s victory, despite nearly 60 percent of votes cast for a Republican on all first-choice ballots, will mark the first time since 1973 that a Democrat will represent the state in the lower chamber.

Whether the August contest was Palin’s race or Republican Nick Begich’s race to lose is an open question. Whether the Republicans’ loss was a consequence of Alaska’s new ranked-choice voting system, however, is no doubt, and GOP Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is the one to blame.

"Ranked-choice voting" is an invention of leftist/communists to control the outcome of elections.

It should be banned, outright.
Everywhere.

There is a good chance that Pat Chesbro wins this seat for the Democrats for the next six years.  There will be three Republicans and one Democrat on the ballot.

Why don’t the conservative voters just list another GOP as second choice?  They do not seem to understand how it works.
