Baked Alaskan: 60% of voters cast ballots for Republicans. A Democrat won.
2022-09-02
[Hot Air] What happens when you combine an all-in or "jungle" primary with ranked-choice voting in the general election? Putting the two modern "innovations" on elections together in Alaska produced this absurd result, in which Republicans lost a House seat despite getting 60% of the vote.

And get ready for it to happen all over again in two months:

Final margin: Peltola (D) defeats Palin (R) 51.5%-48.5% in the final round of ranked-choice. This is a huge victory and pickup for Dems, driven more by Palin's unpopularity than national trends. #AKAL
