Murkowski is the winner.

Trump once again is the loser.

RINO and Demoncrat won. SHOCKER, we all saw this coming, that's why that entire goofy voting system they have was instituted to protect RINO's and help demoncrats.

Sarah Palin lost because she is Sarah Palin, not RCV

Yeah, whenever candidates like these lose, the blame is always the voting system, stupid voters, fraud, etc. Never that they might have been the wrong candidates and just plain out lost the election.

So it goes, on and on.

They both lost without ranked choice voting. Period.


Palin quit halfway through her term as governor to pursue fame and fortune and many of us won't forget that.


Tshibaka is a grifter that was picked by someone in the republican party to move from DC to Alaska in a bid to oust Murkowski. Her and her husband have bilked the state out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and those of us paying attention don't appreciate that.


But go ahead and blame their losses on the "system."

Wrong. Murkowski was LOSING without the BS ranked crap. Her opponent was winning just fine, she lost her primary therefore shouldn't have even been allowed in general as a republican she should have been forced to run as a write in if she wanted to run again

The Primary isn't RCV, it is the top four regardless of party advance to the General. Murkowski finished first.

Waste of time arguing with an igiot. When all the absentee ballots were counted, Murkowski was ahead. RCV made no difference. And, as pointed out above, RCV has nothing to do with our primaries. Try to keep up if you are going to throw stones.

It would be helpful if you actually looked up the primary results before spouting this off. The actual primary results:
Murkowski (R) * 45% * 85,794 (12,380 ahead)
Tshibaka (R) * 38.5% * 73,414
Chesbro (D) * 6.8% * 12,989

Kelley (R) * 2.1% * 4,055
Nolin * 1.1% * 2,004
Blatchford * 1.0% * 1,981
Taylor * 1.0% * 1,897
- 12 more candidates who got below 1% of the vote -
Without the “BS ranked crap” Tshibaka would have been eliminated in the primary and the senate race would have been Murkowski v Chesbro. If anyone was going to have to be a write-in candidate it would have been Tshibaka.

Either you have the traditional type of primary/general election in which Murkowski would have beat Chesbro or you would have had the actual way the election was run, also known as “BS ranked crap”, in which as it turned out Murkowski beat both Chesbro and Tshibaka. Bottom line, Murkowski won whatever way you use.
