Still 25% of the vote to go but after 2nd choice voting, Peltola and Murkowski look to be the favorites to head to Washington. Tshibaka would need all of the remaining voters 2nd choice and almost half of the Democrats, who almost assuredly all voted Murkowski 2nd.
I love the idea of ranked choice voting. THIS is how you bring back moderates to Congress. They can't run solely on a base constituency. They have to campaign to pick up 2nd choice votes
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
