Then this "cluster f*ck" in Alaska...Sarah Palin running likely cost GOP this seat
Alaska District 1 with 90% of votes in........
Rep. Mary Sattler Peltola (D) is ahead in Alaska’s only House race by more than 20 points with about 80 percent of votes counted as of Tuesday.
Yet the race still has not been called in her favor, due to Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system.
Republicans Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, and Nick Begich are in second and third place with 26.6 percent and 24.2 percent of the vote, respectively.
In the ranked-choice system, a candidate must receive a majority of voters’ first preferences to win outright without additional rounds being necessary. Peltola’s 47 percent is just short of the 50 percent necessary to avoid a second round.
Alaska state law also requires election officials to allow as much as two weeks for certain votes to come in.
Early votes submitted between the Friday before the election and Election Day must be counted for seven days after the election. Additionally, elections offices start counting absentee ballots seven days after the election and must conclude by 15 days after.
Since Peltola is just short of the majority she needs to win in the first round, the remaining ballots could be crucial in determining if additional rounds are needed. All votes must be counted by Nov. 23.
If Peltola is short of a majority, the candidate who received the fewest first-place votes will be eliminated, and their votes will be redistributed to the remaining candidates according to their voters’ second preferences.
