For reference
Democrats haven’t won Alaska in a presidential race since 1964, with the closest they’ve been (minus the impactful 1968 and 1992 runs) in 2020 which they lost by only 10 points

Socialism is what they voted for. It doesn’t work . Indians are socialist in their communities and did you know if the counsel decides they want to take your house the can and you have to move grant it is because the counsel gave you the house.

Ranked voting is a total fraud. In every advertisement supporting it, we are told that it represents what the majority of people really want in candidates.
To begin with, this is not how you're supposed to vote. In the real world, people vote for the person they think is best qualified to serve in office.
Second, there's no sane logical method to determine what the majority of the people want.
If you take the average of all the votes, all you do is do away with everyone's choice. The only person who gets their choice is the one who created the system.
The only method in ranked voting is calculations that rule out the candidate with the highest vote count. This is the person who is usually most qualified. It might also include the 2d highest-ranked. This leaves only the middle-of-the-road candidate – who usually leans to the Left!

If you want to see Palin REALLY break down, challenge her to a game of Scrabble. I'm sure she'd rather eat garbage than learn to spell.

The Cancerous "Count till you win" method is unmistakably alive and well in Alaska. Californication is spreading corruption to all formerly free states. Remember people it's not who's voting, it's who's counting. Time to WAKE UP!

In alaska there is really no republican or democratic candidates. There are people who support the alaska way of life and there are those that don't. The difference between them is really just abortion issues and that's about it. Alaska has its own set of issues compared to every other state. If anything she's more of an independent than a Democrat. I'm alaskan, met her, and discussed with her about her views, all I could really get her to disagree on was abortion.

Why are the comments on here so rude? Can we just respect each other anymore? I have my opinions and you have yours. I'll respect your opinion if you respect mine. Please stop the fighting! This country will never be fixed unless we work TOGETHER! We need to actually compromise for once. Have some respect for the other party and keep your opinions to yourself. Nobody's opinions are that important!

Peltola has made some history here. First Native American elected to the Congress and flipped a seat that was GOP for 50 years.

Palin is akin to the crazed, delusional, anti democracy mean girl in high school, who suddenly discovers. "The don't like! They really don't like me!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rank choice voting is effective at splitting a majority party’s vote and giving the win to a minority party candidate

I watched an interview with Peltola and likes the way she handles herself and speaks. I am from California, but I feel she will represent Alaska very well. Very intelligent and down to earth. Please keep her by voting her in come Roevember.
