#akgop #akleg Who thinks they will keep on counting ballots in Alaska until repealing RCV fails like last time.

Imagine you’re at a potluck in the bush and it’s time for the good stuff. The options are: Candied Salmon 🍣 King Crab 🦀 Moose Poo 💩 Blueberry Pie 🫐 Everyone votes. 49 people go hard for Candied Salmon (Hell yeah!) 24 lock in on King Crab (Solid!) 17 somehow pick Moose Poo… (What the actual hell?) 10 people actually want Blueberry Pie (Really?) Blueberry Pie gets the fewest votes, so it’s gone. But those 10 pie fans all ranked Moose Poo as their second choice. New tally: Candied Salmon: 49 Moose Poo: 27 King Crab: 24 King Crab is eliminated next. And every single King Crab voter? They ranked Moose Poo as their next pick. Final score: Moose Poo: 51 Candied Salmon: 49 Wait… WHAT IN THE ACTUAL TUNDRA?! The thing almost nobody wanted just beat the clear favorite. The people who were craving Candied Salmon (and would rather starve than touch Moose Poo) never even got their second choice counted. The least popular option wins simply because it hung around long enough while everyone else’s votes got secretly redistributed in the back room. That’s Ranked Choice Voting. Your first-choice vote can be thrown in the burn barrel. Someone’s third or fourth pick can decide the winner. It’s not “majority rule.” It’s last-man-standing by mathematical sleight of hand — like winning the Iditarod by being the only musher who didn’t freeze to death. And who shoved this mess on Alaska? Outside dark-money networks — including the Arabella Advisors machine and its billionaire-funded web of NGOs — poured millions into forcing Ranked Choice Voting down our throats in 2020. They spent a fortune to make our elections more complicated, more confusing, and easier for the Moose Poo candidate to sneak through. Alaskans never asked for this. We don’t need it. We don’t want it. This November we finally get to take out the trash. Vote YES on Ballot Measure 2 to REMOVE and REPEAL Ranked Choice Voting from Alaska once and for all. Let’s get back to simple, honest elections where the candidate with the most votes actually wins. YES to ENDING DARK MONEY YES to ENDING ARABELLA ADVISORS YES to ENDING RANKED CHOICE VOTING YES to ENDING SOROS IN ALASKA YES on 2.

Opinion: Fantasy Land vs. Real Winning By Phil Izon We need a strategy that elects a conservative governor, not an idealistic fantasy that will give us another Murkowski-type conservative or worse-yet a Democrat. The only way the “all Republicans drop out” consolidation strategy actually works is if every single Republican candidate actually drops out, which will not happen. Under Alaska rules, candidates can withdraw until August 31. If one of the current top four exits, the next-highest finisher from the primary gets elevated straight onto the November ballot. If Dave Bronson drops, that immediately moves someone like Treg Taylor or Click Bishop into the general-election field. Click Bishop may refuse to drop. In that case you still have a multi-Republican field that splits first-choice conservative support, especially with a soft R and hard R. You either get a Democrat with exhausted ballots, or you get Click Bishop as Governor. Continue reading with link in reply! @907Honest @akgop

You are never required to rank anyone you dislike; leave those blank. But if you mark only a single 1st choice and leave the rest empty, you are choosing to risk exhaustion. alaskawatchman.com/2026/08/2…

We need Mission-Ready Leadership, veteran-driven execution that treats the state like a high-stakes operational grid. The Mission: Restoring the energy grid, cutting energy costs, reviving transportation systems, and clearing the $10B backlog. The Leadership: Dave Bronson & Joshua Church bring decades of elite military command and strategic operations experience to get Alaska running smoothly from the top down. Ready to Vote? Make your voice heard today, August 18th! Find everything you need in just 2 clicks: Head over to 907honest.com to instantly check your House/Senate District, view sample ballot images, access candidate link trees, and locate your polling place all in one place.

First test footage for 907trails.com I will have 8 cameras total. 2 @RED_Cinema Red Komodo 6k, Red Dragon 6k, @CanonUSA EOS R, multiple 360 cameras, drone footage, POV, front and rear. This was riding on Matanuska River 30 minutes south of Eureka Roadhouse. This is not a trail, it is a river and I don't recommend taking this trail

And THIS is why mail ballots, unsecured drop boxes, and the whole scheme foisted on American voters MUST be cleaned up. We need in person, in precinct voting, photo voter ID, confirmation of US citizenship and state residency...common sense. @EIwatchdogs nypost.com/2025/08/17/us-new…

2022 U.S. House Special Election- The Backstory: A 48-Way Primary Race This special election was triggered by the death of Rep. Don Young. A unique 'Top-Four' primary was held with 48 candidates. The winners were Sarah Palin (R), Nick Begich III (R), Al Gross (I), and Mary Peltola (D). After the primary, Al Gross withdrew and endorsed Peltola, leaving the three candidates you see here to compete in the ranked-choice general election.Lost Opportunity for Palin:The exhausted ballots came from Begich voters, who shared Palin’s Republican affiliation. In a non-RCV election, many might have consolidated behind Palin to prevent a Democratic win. If even a portion of these 11,243 votes had transferred to Palin, the outcome could have shifted:To tie Peltola’s 91,313, Palin needed 91,313 - 86,026 = 5,287 additional votes. If all 11,243 exhausted ballots had ranked Palin 2nd:Palin: 86,026 + 11,243 = 97,269 Peltola: 91,313 (unchanged, as none of these ballots ranked Peltola) Total active votes: 177,339 + 11,243 = 188,582 Majority threshold: ~94,292 Palin would win with 97,269 (~51.58%) vs. Peltola’s 91,313 (~48.42%). Even if only ~5,287 of the 11,243 (~47%) had gone to Palin, she would tie or narrowly win, showing how pivotal these ballots were. Why Ballots Exhausted: Approximately 20.89% of Begich voters didn’t rank either remaining candidate. Reasons could include:Dislike of Palin: Some Republican voters may have opposed Palin due to her polarizing reputation, preferring to abstain rather than support her. Lack of Voter Education: RCV was new in Alaska, and some voters may not have understood the importance of ranking multiple candidates. Protest Voting: Some ranked only Begich or a write-in, intentionally not supporting Palin or Peltola. Additionally, 15,514 Begich voters (28.83%) chose Peltola, indicating significant crossover appeal, possibly due to Peltola’s moderate stance or local ties as an Alaska Native.
