So, Ranked Choice is losing in Alaska but by a whisker as the vote continues to be counted.

Now, why is it taking so long to count the vote? The population of Alaska is a scant 733 THOUSAND souls and no doubt many of them don't vote. Yet here we are over a week out from the election and they STILL don't have them counted! Something stinks about that.

Apparently 35,000 ballots remain uncounted.


Rank Choice (pew!), er, Ranked Choice is a scheme adopted by Alaska and other states to choose people from a list where you rank your preferences. So someone who loses the total vote but wins more runner up slots can wind up in power. It is rightly seen as a tool to allow Democrats to win more offices as freqUENTLY THE RUNNER UP WILL BE A Democrat (since most of the time they are also on the ballot) and while the people who vote Republican may not be doctrinaire MAGA types but they will fill out the ballot while Democrats simply won't list a ranking.

Ranked choice also complicates the vote tabulation, as is seen right here, and allows more time for the Left to manufacture votes.

Here are some reasons why Conservatives should worry about ranked choice.
