The Alaska Democratic Party realizes that ranked-choice voting was a big win for their candidates in 2022, and so it hopes that Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris will win Alaska because of ranked-choice voting, if only Alaskans will donate money to the party.
The latest fundraising letter says that Harris will be the best choice for Alaska because she is not an extremist and will work on the “issues that Alaskans care about most.” The party said nothing about the coup that it just conducted on the sitting president.
“Ranked-choice voting helps ensure that our leaders represent the interests of ALL Alaskans by requiring candidates to receive support from a majority of voters, taking power out of the hands of dark-money special interest groups, and giving it back to the people!” the party wrote in its letter.
“This will be the first time ranked-choice voting is used in a Presidential election. With Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, Alaska Republicans are desperate to repeal ranked-choice and push through their extreme agenda!” said the party that represents 73,500 voters in Alaska.
“Make no mistake: the future of ranked-choice voting may be on the ballot this November, and we need your help to reach voters across the state to let them know what’s at stake this election,” the fundraising letter said, then asking for $10 to “build up our voter outreach, education and turnout efforts so we can defend ranked-choice voting.”
The presidential race does not appear on the Aug. 20 primary ballot because the parties still are allowed to choose their candidates for the November ballot. But when November comes, voters will get to rank their first, second, third, and fourth choices for president.
Now that the Democrats don’t have to worry about defending Joe Biden’s dementia, the tone of their fundraising letters are more upbeat than last month, when they wrote, “We are writing to ask if there’s anything we can say to convince you to make a contribution to the Democratic National Committee today.“
This November, Alaskans will have the opportunity to undo the ranked-choice voting system. This year’s Ballot Measure 2 would would return Alaska to semi-partisan primaries. General elections would be decided by the usual form of voting, with whoever getting the most votes wins. It’s also known as plurality voting. The Democrats will be working to try to defeat this initiative.
Cause it is the ONLY way they are able to achieve, cheating and cheating by any means, and too who ever, never mind! With the mentality of the democrat leadership over the past many years, accelerating from ability to negotiate or debate for a common causes and solutions within the bounds of the Constitution, to the current socialistic arena that boldly touts Communism with open pride, I swear to any and all, I shall never, never knowingly support, vote, or affiliate with known Democrats.(Communist)
Democrats are scared to death of losing RCV. Biggest benefactors from 2022 were Lisa Murkowski and Mary Peltola…..both reliable left-wingers and supporters of everything liberals need.
RCV is going down in 2024.
Democrats know they can’t win on honest election, cheating and manipulation is the only way to victory.
Dumb Alaska voters will keep ranked choice voting. I hope not but I’m willing to bet they do.
I’m afraid you’re probably right…
Make sure stupid Mike Porcaro doesn’t support Ranked Choice Voting again by cutting supportive advertisements (for his usual fee) that run on “his” radio station. Don’t forget that his ads last time helped Alaskans decide mistakenly to vote for it.
I’m still trying to figure out how that was legal. It reeks of conflict of interest and millions in free political advertising. He should have been required to not discuss RVC if his company was pimping it.
That this was never publicly challenged by the AKGOP is another in a way too long list of political ineptitude on their part.
We just need to pay him more than ‘they’ do
Congratulations to the referendum sponsors for winning the court fight to get a repeal of RCV on the ballot. The usual suspects that proclaim that they care about what the voters think are fighting to keep this off tha ballot with endless legal attacks. Scott Kendel. What a tool.
Suprising that two Republican candidates from the valley support Rank voting. Sumner is already a house rep and he endorses Scott Kendalls group. Doyle Holmes, the once indicted borough assemblyman, also replyed to a survey for the Beacon Poll that he is a huge supporter. There is a reason that the democrats put this in place and then only run a single candidate. It is specifically in place so people like Sumner and Holmes can tear apart conservative republicans by running aginst other republicans. The democrats won’t even use their own idea.
The latest fundraising letter says that Harris will be the best choice for Alaska because she is not an extremist and will work on the “issues that Alaskans care about most.”
Makes me wonder if they really honestly believe that or if they just know there are enough gullible people willing to believe the continual gaslighting from the Democratic party? A few weeks ago Old Joe was running circles around all his staff, according to these same people. Suddenly he was hit with a case of senioritis and became senile, old, and week on July 27th then just three weeks later he was incapable of running a campaign although he’s still somehow well enough to be President…
Does anyone, besides the brainwashed leftists actually believe this nonsense?
“Ranked-choice voting helps ensure that our leaders represent the interests of ALL Alaskans by requiring candidates to receive support from a majority of voters, taking power out of the hands of dark-money special interest groups, and giving it back to the people!”
Let me translate the Demons quote above, “Ranked choice voting helps ensure our leaders win elections and oppress the interests of all Alaskans, taking power from the voters and using dark-money and our special interest allies to continue to erode the freedoms of all Americans.”
Someone needs to explain to me how RCV helps us vote in a presidential primary because I didn’t see any voting booths open for that.
RCV needs to be abolished. Too bad it didn’t happen before the November Election.
This is the only way Dems can get a foothold to turn Alaska. Please don’t let it happen. VOTE AGAINST IT!
Grier Hopkins is having a marijuana election fundraiser. All buds in. Bring your sleeping bags. $500 bucks covers a two night stay in the barn. All the dope you can smoke. Bro-in-law Scott Kendall is now selling tickets. Pick up your spare ballots at the door.
Ranked Choice Voting dilutes the individual’s vote. Anyone promoting or defending it are the real threats to “duhmocracy”.
