Yeah this sucks. I see vote Kelly and Trump 24 flags everywhere in Fairbanks but Anchorage will vote differently. This doesn’t surprise me

Ranked voice voting is stupid and overly complicated

Wouldn't this mean both move forward to a head to head in the NOV general election? If so, not sure why this is "Not looking good for MAGA in Alaska". Being that top 2 is key in this round.

The Ranked voting system might have played in to these results

Ranked choice voting was established in AK precisely FOR Lisa Murkowski.

I guess Alaska likes paying $6 for diesel?

Would have thought that alone would have knocked her out.

This is actually good. Tshibaka will make the ballot.

Murkowski can still lose the general election in Alaska.

Murkowski can be muscled; think of that classic iconic photo to Feinstein pinning her to the wall. Things are going to get bloody, and with the gloves off from the Right, she and a lot will fall in line.

Trying to predict tomorrow's scenarios applying today's social/system infrastructure dynamic is folly. Things are going to change very fast as the economy goes dysfunctional and people's desperation affects politicos.

Based off of Alaskans that I know, and keep in touch with from working up there, I would be Shocked if Murkowski ended up winning this!

Bottom vote candidates drop. MAGA candidate survives. RINO Murk also survives. Murkowski dead in water moving forward. Everyone relax.

Ranked choice will benefit Murk in November

Anyone who votes democrat will rank Murk 1st and give their vote to her once the democrat doesn’t win. That’s going to be a ton of votes.

Alaska has a strange primary process. It was always said Murk would survive this round; because she has deep ties in Alaska through her family.
