The Division of Elections has counted another tranche of ballots from the Nov. 5 election and the most watched item of the weekend is Ballot Measure 2, which asks voters if they want to repeal ranked-choice voting.
The No votes are picking up more than 50% of the 6,772 votes that were added to the total.
The repeal votes are 155,592 and the no votes are 154,697, a difference of 895 votes.
Today’s counted votes included votes from HD 37, 38, 39 and 40, totaling 1,386, and from HD 1, 2, 5, and 6, totaling 5,386 for a combined total of 6,772.
Approximately 9,000 votes currently remain to be counted, in addition to the military overseas ballots that will dribble in until Nov. 20, the cutoff date.
Looks like it is going to stick around.
Remember, Mr. Forkner, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings!
That’s true. No fat lady yet.
Where you planning on singing there FL ??
Never would have guessed RCV will survive our unique and so special Alaska operated election process.
Thankyou Dunleavy and Dahlstrom for managing in the manner we come to expect from “Republicans”.
All talk and no action.
Fishier than Mary Peltola while Congress was in session…
Why is this on the edge? The future is at stake.
Most everything we observe in humanity is a symptom of underlying causes. The election results are a symptom of two things: 1) the ideology of the voters, and 2) how much cheating the left gets away with.
Digging deeper, the ideology of the voters is a symptom of something deeper. Google Frankfurt School.
😆
The counting will continue until the desired outcome occurs.
Get what you want, all is fair. Don’t get what you want, must be fraud. Enough already! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You have no proof, or even cause to speculate.
We’ve seen this rodeo before, Matt – the longer the vote counting takes, the more likely fraud will occur. Controlling who (and what…) counts the votes is how to win elections – an idea straight from Josef Stalin.
We have plenty of reasons to speculate. This pattern is a clone of what happened in 2020 when RCV passed the first time. It was losing right up to the last day to count ballots, and suddenly, almost every single ballot counted was a Yes vote.
.
And, if the repeal of RCV won in exactly the same manner, I would be equally skeptical.
.
3rd world countries can get their ballots counted in less than 24 hours. Most 1st world countries as well. But, the US??? Well…. weeks are needed. We are not talking about a recount, we are talking about the original voting count.
.
If the vote changes on the last day, with the small number of ballots left, it means the final votes all voted No on 2, or for Peltola. A statically improbable event. That is enough evidence to warrant an audit.
Actually, what I’ve seen is that it’s simply not fair, regardless of what you want. And yes, I’m specifically talking about Alaska elections, and I’m talking about years working within that system.
Why is it when all these lost ballots start streaming in it goes in Democrat favor. Strange…
No Matt if you’re smart enough to do a little math you would smell a rat.
For instance isn’t it interesting that 15 million less votes were cast in the presidential election than 2020 presidential election. Something stinks. Guess what Matt ?? There are thieves out . Kinda makes me wonder how Obama got elected. A guy no one ever heard of before suddenly became resident of the United States. Obama the guy carries himself like a con man probably is a con man. For the right price you to can be president. His price was $1 billion which is what he is currently worth. O ya it was the book deals. I forgot. We been getting scammed. I have little doubt.
sadly, I believe that is correct.
Absolutely correct, it sickens me.
What about the poll watchers?? Have they all gone home?? Who is now looking over the shoulders of those who will gladly count ballots that have a postmark after the final date to accept ballots- or even no postmark, at all??
Such a shame, after the extraordinary effort, with next to no money, that people put into getting the Petitions all signed, to stop the travesty of RCV.
I think Nick Begich will keep his lead in votes (currently 9,000 ahead, with 9,000 votes still to be counted). The wildcard is the number of “overseas votes” that will keep dripping in, over the next 4 days.
That could be where The Masked Avenger is right on target. That process is wide open to voter fraud. Or the machines could just start flipping votes again.
Now the Dems know more closely, just how many votes need to be manufactured for Peltola.
If we can’t control the integrity of our elections, we can’t control the future of our country. I fear that the election process has been irreversibly hijacked.
Except they forgot to fraudulently elect Peltola. How could they forget that? I mean, if you’re going to cheat, why only cheat on RCV?
Or could it be that the election results are legitimate? It’s looking like RCV will remain and Begich will win.
A question: The US Constitution states:
“Article I Legislative Branch
Section 4 Congress
Clause 1 Elections Clause
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”
Given the above, can election laws for Congress be instituted through our state initiative process?
Asking for a friend.
Are overseas ballots the only ones remaining?
Reread. I see it now.
If it passes and we still have RCV to deal with we need to take it to court as multiple votes are illegal.
Or live with it. The dark money controls.
No W we are not going to live with it. Time to jam it down Kendall’s throat.
I agree, but we need to do a hell of a lot more than that!!!!!!! This whole election stinks to the high heavens with all these late mail-in votes, by the thousands, everyone should be outraged at this outright manipulation of the electoral process. What about all these bush communities that have for ever to get their ballots in. I say from now on, which is the way its always been, the only allowed mail-in votes were overseas military ballots, no others anymore, eliminate all other mail-in corrupt ballots coming in, scattered over weeks on end, and smelling pretty damn fishy. Alaska is the laughing stock of the country, thanks to the bozo’s in the AK Division of elections, all votes should be in and counted by the day following the actual voting day.
I’ve been outraged at a number of elections in this state.
Ny wife and Ibwere talking abdbif it passes we have 2 main argumwnts to alsue as a citizens group.
1. By state law single issue ballots measures are law. RCV is combined with open primaries.
2. Under the Constitution 1 person, 1 vote. It is not truly legal to give people’s vites to different candidates.
Then, as the RINOs start getting primaried and our elections become more secure, we will finally rid ourselves of the stench of Sullivan and Murkowski and RCV is banned.
It will take 5+ yrs to correct this ship and a cultural shift in hiw we manage our own government.
Of course, if Sullivan and Murkowski happen to be found guilty of crimes, that would expedite the process.
What are the odds???
.
Seriously, like anyone did not expect this? All of the late counted votes want to keep RCV. Statistically improbable to the point of shenanigans.
.
And, I bet enough Peltola votes will show up to squeak her back to DC again.
Get what you want, all is fair. Don’t get what you want, must be fraud. Enough already! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You have no proof, or even cause to speculate.
What, exactly is your point?
Proof?
Proof of what? At what point, in your opinion, does evidence turn into proof?
.
Speculation, I got plenty of reason to speculate. This pattern duplicates the RCV outcome from 2020 almost perfectly. And, in 2020, as it is today, the odds of most, if not all, of the final votes counted being in favor of RCV is statistically improbable, almost to the point of being impossible.
.
Finally, if you do not want to speculate, don’t. I will do whatever speculation I want.
Evidence may or may not be proof.
Really?
Who knew?
.
Evidence is where the investigation starts. Proof comes out of that investigation.
.
Maybe… just maybe some investigation might be needed. Unfortunately, we don’t get that. Instead, we get ridicule (election denier) or prosecution. Oh, and don’t forget cancel culture. It’s still a thing.
.
So, until weird election thongs are actually looked into, all we got is evidence and speculation.
Public outcry against RCV was 3 to 1. And there’s plenty of historical proof Alaska elections fail to follow rules.
The very process creates reason.
You are 100% wrong Matt. You have to be smart enough to do the math.
Agree.
Keep saying it long enough and loud enough and the whole world will believe that Oswald acted alone. You’re being manipulated.
What does Oswald have to do with anything?
Please try to remain somewhere within the area code of the topic please Greg.
I was being sarcastic. On here, you hope to turn fantasy into fact if you preaching it loud and long enough regardless of it being factual. But it’s who you are so it’s all good. Gotta be you.
Ah, I think I see.
Here is the reality. Overwhelmingly, perhaps as much as 95%+ of the time, when counting the votes drags out for entirely too long, the left side of the political aisle benefits. I cannot think of a single time a misplaced box of ballots resulted in a Republican pulling ahead at the last moment.
.
But, if you know of a bunch of instances where the right side of the political aisle gained a last second lead, share them. And, I will retract my statement, and acknowledge that I am trying to turn BS into a commonly accepted fact.
.
However, both of us know the last minute count always benefits the leftists. Prove me wrong.
Shortly the Kennedy files will be released and the truth will be out there.
Gee….didn’t see this one coming.
lol oh look we found another 9,000 votes to count. Come Monday they will find another 10,000 in a village with a population of 150. Before you know it all 600,000 plus elg voters in Alaska will have miraculously voted.
Now we know why he was not appointed to a cabinet position. He has the spine of a jellyfish and the balls of a neutered dog.
There was a time when I would have done anything for him. I was a big sucker back then though.
Alaska, I’m embarrassed at your vote counting abilities…..please work to do better.
These are the ballots washing up on the coast from DC.
RCV is the Devil’s workshop.
Alaska elections are full of corruption. What a mess. There is no way that many people voted to keep RCV. Nor could that many people be stupidly duped by all the lies funded by Soros and the rest of the outside dark money groups. I have no doubt there have been shenanigans and manufactured votes. The 12,000,000 dollars spent had to bear fruit and the left have no boundaries or scruples. What ever it takes to achieve the desired end is acceptable. A tragedy and criminal. Yet we will continue to endure more of the same as our elected officials have done nothing to clean up our elections.
embarrassing, Alaska! its a laughing joke! lowest population of a state? and it takes this long?
Nicole, your statement is probably the best and most simple statement out of all these comments regarding this whole farce. The lowest population state takes the longest. How is that possible?
Alaska is really a dumbed-down state now.
Any chance the IQ is related to long winters? Or is it just all the Democrats still running the show?
Nancy Dahlstrom.
Just curious, what makes our Alaskan votes so difficult to count?
They come in 140 languages and need interpreters for all of them
BS.
I think they are also counting them in Peltola’s Yupik language. Atauciq(one), malruk(two), pingayun(three), cetaman(four),………… it’s going to take awhile, so be patient!😂
And as long as they keep counting, it will work in their favor. Amazing how many ballots they suddenly find.
Great news: RCV in Alaska has been DEFEATED !!!
Per State of Alaska Division of Elections …
100% precincts reporting (402 0f 402) …
Updated on November 16th at 4:15pm Alaska time …
See ‘Election Summary Report ‘, page 15 (of 19) …
Here is the link:
‘https://www.elections.alaska.gov/results/24GENR/ElectionSummaryReport.pdf
Promising, thanks for the link.
Of the late counts, yes votes are 47% and no votes are 53%. If there are only 9000 votes and numbers are similar to the previous late counts, 4230 votes will be yes and 4770 will be no and yes votes will win.
But the last votes being counted are all coming from Anchorage. From what I garnered from Jeff Landfield, their no vites have a higher percentage. It will likely fail.
Praying that it doesn’t…but Dahlstrom won’t be governor without RCV.
Are any of these ballots being questioned or observed? Why does it take so long to count so few? Three people with a pot of coffee could hand count faster than this. Dahlstrom is a disgrace.
Thank you Suzanne, I was wondering if you had seen my comment about the 895 vote difference to your earlier 11/16/24 article, “The More They Count, The Closer It Gets.”
Well let’s put it on the ballot again in 26 and make them spend another 13 million to defend it.
It happened this way in 2020 also didn’t it? Unbelievable. The thing is that the evil will gloat and enjoy every single minute of our anger and frustration.
Instead, we need to figure out how to fight this “result” AND fight the election process in its entirety. Use the anger and frustration in a productive manner. If you are usually one that just sits and moans, get off your chair and help.
There are groups out there still working on this fraud. Cause of America at causeofamerica.org is one. Truethevote.org is another. Check out electioncrimebureau.com to see what kind of election integrity work is being done there. We can get pissed off, but let’s use that energy in a positive manner and get this evil activity stopped once and for all!
I’m smell a “4am surprise”.
Depends can be your friend.
Good use of Rule 5 there Greg.
How can Alaskans be that dumb to believe that RCV is good? There are too many idiots living amongst us.
Disagree. It means $14 million in carpet bombing ads works, at least a little bit. Cheers –
As Brian said, “There are too many idiots living amongst us. Along with people who can’t read.
As Brian said, “There are too many idiots living amongst us. Along with people who can’t read.
Apparently half.
None of this matters… The entire system is already financially and morally bankrupt… Even if the plug was pulled on the money printing machines today the real interest on the debt now can never be paid off… Ranking the deck chairs on the Titanic is simply an exercise in futility… ^^^
DEMAND A FORENSIC AUDIT OF THIS. Stop talking about being pissed off and how it was stolen – we all know it was and we are just going to let them get away with it (AGAIN)
Walking Small aka Gov Dunleavy, needs to demand that Dahlstrom conduct an audit or hand in her resignation!
Why do ya think Trump didn’t pick Dunleavy for Sec. Of Interior? Dunleavy can’t even straighten out crooked Alaska.
The Cheat is on!!sounds like Glenn Frey singing it
There’s a reason for the secret ballot counting building on the outskirts of town in Juneau.
Where do we find how many ballots have yet to be counted?
I saw it once now it eludes me
I have downloaded the results the last 3 times (11/14, 11/15, 11/16). The reports all say 100% reporting yet the results change each day!!!! Sorry just frustrated like most of us
Let’s do it again, put it back on the next ballot
Until we have people of integrity running our elections, we will be stuck with an abhorrently corrupt system of voting in Alaska. The mail-in voting is how they are stealing it. There isn’t enough scrutiny over the process to stop the ballot stuffing. The military (Space Force) is preventing most of the cyber (machine vote flipping) and is watching that closely. The mail-in is mostly being watched by volunteers, so if there are no people stepping up to be in that process and calling out the fraud, they will stop the repeal just like they did to place this fraudulent RCV system in place. We are dealing with a corrupt network of folks willing to betray their countryman for a buck. Shameful and criminal act against the will of the people. Shame on the Governor and Lt. Governor for not making sure there is a watertight firewall against this.
And, No on 2 slipped ahead at the last moment. As of 11/18/2024, 2:32PM, No on 2 is winning by 192 votes.
.
Who could have seen this coming? Who I ask? Oh… that’s right. Anyone who was paying attention to the vote counting in 2020 when EXACTLY the same thing happened.
The RCV has been close this whole election. Just hold on to your panties gentlemen! Ladies let’s pull up our big girl panties too! Everyone chill out! Go outside and run around your neighborhood. Let’s give the election workers a chance to finish up their counting. Stop whining. Have a nice day ya’ll.
