In their latest effort to woo voters in Alaska, the Alaska Democratic Party writes that former President Donald Trump only has 47% support among likely voters in the state.
The Democrats are breathless: “This is HUGE, —–!” the party writes. “A Democrat has not carried Alaska in a presidential election for 60 years. Donald Trump carried Alaska by nearly 15 points in 2016 and went on to carry the state by just 10 points in 2020,” the party said in its fundraising request.
The Democrats then cited polling conducted by Alaska Survey Research, which shows Alaska in play for a win by Harris. That is the same polling company that predicted Trump would win by 6 points in Alaska in 2016, when he actually won by 15 points. Alaska Survey Research predicted Trump would win by 4 points in Alaska in 2020, when he won by 10 points.
But the Democrats spoke too soon. Alaska Survey Research’s prediction about how Trump and Harris will fare in Alaska is not what the Democrats are saying it is.
The latest ASR poll actually shows Trump with 52% support, Harris at 43%, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 6%.
Kennedy has endorsed Trump but will remain on Alaska’s ballot.
Alaskans will have an opportunity to play the “rank-the-candidates” game on their ballots. This will be the first presidential election in Alaska to use the ranking system. There are eight presidential candidates and in the ranking game, voters can rank one, all of them, or just one. There are tricks to the ranked-choice voting system, because if voters don’t do it exactly right, their ballot may be tossed.
In fact, there are more ways to screw up the presidential ballot in Alaska, due to the sheer number of candidates.
Even so, the Alaska Division of Elections is here to help. In a mailer sent out to all registered voters in Alaska that explains how to play the rank-the-candidate game when they vote, the Division has generously showed the name of “Harris” among all the imaginary candidates voters would choose from.
And the Division has helpfully marked Harris’ name as its first choice, just in case low-information or low-literacy voters need a bit of help in marking their ballots.
“It’s clear that Alaskans are sick and tired of Trump’s extremism and divisive rhetoric. It’s time we elect a real leader who is focused on improving the lives of hard-working families – not stoking chaos and division. We can’t do it without you,” the Alaska Democratic Party writes to its base, looking for those donations to improve its odds of winning.
Having the help of the Division of Elections is just icing on the cake.
Read about the Division of Elections’ propaganda mailer in this report from Oct. 1, 2024:
We are going democrat. But we’re not totally there yet.
Not this election, not this candidate.
Add Lisa Mulkowski to that list also
With cheating, lying, scandalous Murkowski at the head, I too have worried that there will be cheating in our system. We still have dominion machines, and too many radical leftists counting ballots. Folks please consider volunteering, and please make this election too big to rig! We cannot become a s**t hole like Seattle, Portland, all of California, etc.
Low-information, low-literacy voters. You mean Republicans Suzanne? Since many on that side seem incapable of grasping RCV, I can only assume those are the people you are talking about in this article. There’s almost zero chance Trump would lose Alaska, but it would be worth it if only to watch peoples heads explode in the comments section of MRAK.
Enjoy your last chance to vote using RCV, it is going by way of the dodo bird come November 5th.
If it doesn’t I’m sure you’ll be on here rending your garment.
Throwing tantrums is a trait of the leftists. Not adults.
Oh really? Every Republican reaction to elections from 2020 onwards has been a tantrum to a greater or lesser extent. Most still can’t even bring themselves to admit that Trump lost. Talk about snowflake.
Amen to that Hunter! Just a frigging scam to cheat!
I’m Republican and am neither low information nor low literacy. That my friend, perfectly describes Democrats to a “T,” especially the ones in Juneau.
I can’t speak for other folks, but I fully understand RCV. There is nothing difficult about it at all.
Dont forget to add “basket of deplorables” to your description of republicans.
Got to keep up the narrative of the dems party ruler.
Yes add “basket of deplorables” to “racists”.
I hope to see the democrats crying and moving to another state like california.
Yep. And Good Riddence to them.
You mean like all the Hollywood celebrities that moved to Canada after GW Bush won in 2000, 2004, and Trump won in 2016?
Nope. No one is moving. Threatening to throw a tantrum is expected from the children.. errr… I mean the leftists.
And yet none of these Democrats, including Harris herself, can tell you what her policy positions are, because even she doesn’t know.
And yet Democrats are breathlessly eager to vote for her.
Think about that next time you’re tempted to argue with a Democrat…..
Then her and Trump have something in common.
And Trump has what?: “I have a concept of a plan…” What a Loser.
Hmph!! I fantasize that the full truth about Harris and Walz, and all of the other federal miscreants, will emerge to the public, and that the worst half of the D.C. politicians will be compelled to either leave their political office or jump from a Potomac River bridge. Harris will choose to jump, I am cheerfully supposing.
If you live in Alaska and Vote Harris here is a suggestion pack your stuff and leave because you are literally shooting your self in the foot. The Democrats do not give two shisha about our resource based economy.
Taking the potential for adverse consequences is not a trait leftists demonstrate.
I received the flyer today, explaining how I ‘should’ vote. Most interesting that a ‘Harris’ was listed as a ‘first’ vote within the example.
I reckon that I will fill out all the ovals within a straight line, from the 1st choice unto the last, so as not to allow any doubt or ‘after voting altering’ of my voting intention, which will allow me the old school, and appropriate one vote, one choice scenario.
I encourage all like-minded individuals to do the same, rather than leave ANY open spaces so as to allow the possibility of fraudulent ‘additional’ filled spaces.
One person. One vote. Across the board.
Literally.
Friend, don’t do that – the machines will spit it out as a spoiled ballot – right after you leave… You can mark your first choice and leave the rest blank, but your fears of someone taking your ballot and filling in additional ovals is then possible – though very unlikely.
Not a good idea.
It will likely get your ballot rejected.
The democrats lie to make Conservatives afraid, depressed, and just give up. Well, you know what demonrats? The harder you push, the more Conservatives get involved. Trump is ahead in this state. Peltola is not helping Comrade Kamala’s case either.
Vote Yes on Ballot Measure 2.
Vote No on Ballot Measure 1.
Trump/Vance 2024. Don’t vote for any other party if you don’t want them in office.
Trump will win Alaska. Period. Democrats are pushing hype and fantasy.
Harris and Biden:
1. Triggered the worst inflation in 40 years, making all Americans poorer.
2. Doubled mortgage interest rates, making housing much more expensive.
3. Imposed tariffs on wood and steel, making housing more expensive.
4. Allowed in 10 million illegals, driving up the cost of rent for Americans- who were now competing against the illegals for space.
5. Drove up car insurance rates as Americans are paying the price for the illegals that drive without licenses, or insurance.
6. Allowed, literally, thousands of murderers, and criminals in. These criminals are raping and killing Americans. Texas has documented tens of thousands of crimes committed by the illegals.
7. Allowed terrorists in.
Why any American would vote for these clowns- is an act of masochism.
You have to be pretty dumb to not see this, Makes you wonder what kind of people think this is ok.
Why any American would vote for these clowns?
How about:
1. It is time for a woman President.
2. Trump is a fascist.
3. Democracy is on the ballot
4. Deporting the illegals is racist
5. She will fix it.
6. Orange man bad.
7. Abortion, abortion, and ABORTION!!!
.
The list goes on, and on, and on. None of the reason are justifiable. They are all emotion driven, without regard for any possible adverse consequences.
.
Much the way a child will choose to eat sugary treats instead of nutritional meals, even though they are already fat.
They can fantasize all they want It’s not going to happen
Not quite sure what the Dems party officials are smoking but showing support for a guy that pushed tampon dispensers in the boys bath/locker rooms for school age children is quite a stretch.
It is definitely a question I ask of anyone who mentions voting/supporting the party of death who feels that terminating an infants life is womens health care.
However Harris’s strong support for abortion may be the reason for her desire to replace the aborted future voters with the massive importation of illegals to keep up the forces that support her and her companion Tim who may have invested interest in the tampon industry.
Only the braindead will vote for Harris and they mostly live in Anchorage and Juneau.
HEADS SHOULD ROLL in the Division of Elections for sending out that sample ballot, from the smug self-righteous moron that slipped it past “their” supervisor, to the department heads and managers who should have caught it or were complicit.
Through the modern miracles of voting machines and mail-in ballots, Harris could very well carry the state. There is a reason leftists are fighting so viciously to keep those things in place.
The State should hand out stickers that say “I think I voted” instead of the ones they have now..
Pretty sure only state/local elections are rcv. Why are they allowed to make a federal ballot rcv?
All candidate races on the Alaska ballot are RCV. If there are 15 qualified for president on the ballot, then there will be a 15-round ranking. – sd
The #1 issue that is driving the vote both on the state and federal level is abortion. Plain and simple. Way behind is issue #2 – Project 2025. Issue #3 – Trump has posted he “hates” both Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. The guy is a master strategist. Now he is afraid to go on 60 minutes or debate. You hitched your wagon to this guy, now ride it out over the cliff!
