Thanks to the GOP voting in ranked-choice voting, Sarah Palin has election taken from her again.
Sarah Palin deserves a special medal of honor for her attempts to make America a great country. The former governor of Alaska offered to help the helpless John McCain in his run for President and she was hammered by the media like no politician up to that point in history.
After helping McCain increase his popularity with the public, McCain threw her under the bus when he lost.

Oh, Sarah, my heart aches for you. I was so looking forward to having you in Congress, bringing your common sense and authentic self. You've given so much to those of us who appreciate you. Thank you, Hockey Mom.

A really stupid way to elect a candidate, BUT an obviously predictable loss for the GOP since neither Palin nor Begich would withdraw. The GOP got over 50% of the vote, a vote percentage that either one would have received running ALONE.

The lesson, find ways to fix these types of election processes, or use your campaign $$ to educate voters they can simply vote for the 1 person they want, and leave the rest alone in this instance.

this was a planned tactic by the repubs in Alaska and probably D.C. and we can most likely see Hong Kong Mitch's fingerprints on the evidence

Sarah needs to move to Kentucky where the elections are probably not rigged.

Unfortunately for the Country and for the State of Alaska, Sarah’s loss was self-inflicted. And entirely predictable. Thanks to Alaska's insidious ranked choice voting (thank you Murkowski & Company), combined with the inflated egos of both Sarah and of the other equally qualified Republican candidate, their combined return of 51% of the votes has been overtaken by the sole democrat opponent with 47% of the votes. Either one of them could have bowed out for the good of the country when it became obvious that they would be splitting the vote.

The seat was more important than Sarah. She should have dropped out.

McCain was a dishonourable man. The best part and most productive part of his presidential run was Sarah Palin but he blamed her for his failure a credible candidate. He effectively handed, without opposition, the presidency over to Obama. Sarah was great, McCain was worse than useless, yet he trashed her in an attempt to save face for letting the American people down.

Old Dem trick, pay a "Republican" and fund his campaign when he has NO CHANCE, except to draw enough vote from the better candidate so the Dem....or rotten piece of garbage Murky....wins.
They used this in Kansas a couple of cycles ago....suddenly one of the best known plumbers in the eastern part of the state, who has had radio jingles with his name in them for 25 or 30 years "suddenly" decides to run as "a conservative", and gets well funded.....drew about 10% of the stupid votes to him, so the REAL conservative lost the governor's race. I will bet money that this plumber was secretly set up by the Dems to do it.
And they did the same in Alaska.

I truly despise how my party’s rulers have treated two people - Donald J. Trump and Sarah Palin.

Those are, were the rules. Is it stupid? Yes. She failed to win. No one stole it from her. In a red state like Alaska, the democrat should never have approached 50%.

There is an emerging movement in Pennsyvania to move to this ridiculous system.
And if we are stupid enough to elect a brain damaged Frankenstien's bother as Senator, we are stupid enough for this, I guess.

If all goes well, Sarah can be made Director of Energy in Trump's Presidency. Her talent should not be wasted.
