Walk me through it in any scenario where Murkowski wins.
She will not come close to beating her challenger.
She doesn't have to beat her challenger in 1st place votes. Because the top 4 candidates advance to the election, nobody will get 50% of the first place votes. The lion's share of Dem votes will place Murkowski as their second choice. I would also imagine the Alaska Republicans would select her as their second choice to avoid a Democrat having the seat. So even though she may finish third in the number of first place votes, she'll likely win the election by having a larger number of second place votes than either the Republican challenger or the Democrat.

Agreed

Maybe. I would tend to say Libertarian.
So doing the math there, That was only 11% of the entire vote in 2016. If she got all of them, that still will not put her at 50% plus 1.

She's being beat by double digits.

She has to reach 50% plus 1. No Joe Miller votes will vote Murkowski.

I upvoted you bc you’re correct- not bc I like it. Murkowski has never been honestly elected in Alaska. She’s awful and deserves public humiliation. Which cannot happen. Because she has no shame.
Ranked choice voting violates the principle of one man one vote. It’s bullshite.
It’s a pity nobody has standing to challenge election laws.
