Late Wednesday night, it became official: Mary Peltola, the sole Democratic candidate in an open primary field, won the at-large House seat for the state of Alaska, which was left vacant after the death of longtime Representative Don Young.
I was wondering the same, according to Google it is: an electoral system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, he or she is declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated. First-preference votes cast for the failed candidate are eliminated, lifting the second-preference choices indicated on those ballots. A new tally is conducted to determine whether any candidate has won a majority of the adjusted votes. The process is repeated until a candidate wins an outright majority
I’m wondering how the republicans will try adjust. They can’t ignore or lie about their position on Roe v. Wade. And normal people are tired of MAGA and Q.
love her, such good news that she won!
I so love the typo the substituted "Pain" for "Palin".
So good to read good news!!!! Congratulations!
Hopefully this will be a trend going into November and beyond. 🥰
Ah Ho!
thank you for adding the link making it so easy to donate to her campaign!
I wonder why she is the first Native Alaskan to serve in Congress?
What is "ranked choice voting"? Thanks.

Republican mantra: if we lost the system was rigged.
