And there you have it.
Incidentally, there is a second Republican on the ballot that Murkowski could vote for. But she pledges to vote for a Democrat over Republican Nick Begich.
This seat is likely a Dem pickup because of the asinine rules that Murkowski pushed. In each race, you have two (or three) Republicans facing off against one Democrat. Highest vote getter wins. So the GOP vote gets diluted between multiple candidates while the Democrat gets all of the Democrat votes. Thanks a lot, Murkowski.
