  1. So Alaska has more democracy than the rest of us now?

    What a joke of democracy this sad nation is.

  2. Isn’t it supposed be like that the most popular person wins

  3. The sooner ranked choice replaces all voting in the US the better!

  4. This sound confusing, but I'm not in Alaska, so good luck to Alaskans.

  5. It seems like it has some real advantages. We need something like that in GA.

  6. Sarah Palin !?! Boy republicans really are stuck in the past .

  7. Liz Cheney will lose by 30 points. She is a rino and a traitor to the Republican party. Due to the fbi raid, she might lose by 35 to 40 points.

  8. Could the Trumpees refrain from commenting until they go back to school and learn how to write in English. Let's play a game of how many of them are commenting or attempting to 🀣🀣🀣good God they don't even know their own language. πŸ€£πŸ€”πŸ™„

  9. The GOP has become a terrorist organization thanks to the man with the spray painted orange face it has also become a complete cesspool of lyingπŸ€₯ lunatics.

  10. Democrats are freaking out.

  11. Who would put her in an office. PLEASE. The world can get worse

  12. Yeah ,because 1 person ,1 vote ,most votes win is such a complicated system….

  13. Republicans voted for this new rank choice loading system in Alaska. Sarah Palin will not even be placing in the top three under this new rain choice system.

  14. And who reads the results and decide who has won
    So they are going to let Sarah count them up and she will give them their winner
    I see how that’s going to work out just fine for someone
    lol

  15. This has to be Sara again
    She just can’t get her brain to work anymore
    She has so much in common with Trump
    I think that it’s going to blow up on them

  16. Murkowski like Liz Chaney has got to go. Vote them both out. They've road the pockets of hard working Alaskans and Wyomians long enough

  17. The "Poorly Educated" can't understand Rank Choice.
    Their brains are solo focused. DUMB

  18. Murkowski has to go. She's working against alaskans while she carries a big fat bank account. She has not represented Alaskan and it's time for us to get her out of office.

  19. how to legally get votes tossed, make p[people think their write in votes will get counted

  20. Ranked choice sounds like a good idea, but what would be even better is if we had a real democracy where the person with the most votes won.

  21. Now spread it to the rest of the country.

  22. Who was the mud shark?

  23. BLUE WAVE πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸ’

  24. She is. Hobbled by bent carrot πŸ₯•. Syndrome 🌢

  25. Ranked choice voting is the best improvement to our system I've heard yet.

  26. Just imagine a democracy where each person’s vote was equal regardless of any demographics.
    Come to think of it, anything not like that is not a democracy

  27. Take Republicans off all ballots.

  28. In Wyoming, Likely End of Cheney Dynasty Will Close a Political Era
    If Representative Liz Cheney loses her primary on Tuesday, as is widely expected, the Cowboy State’s conservative tilt will take on a harder edge.

  29. Procedures for declassification of materials are complicated. However, the president has ultimate declassification authority and may declassify .
