With about 80% of precincts reporting by early Wednesday, Peltola had 38% of first place votes, Palin had 32% and Begich had 29%.
This means Begich is dropped from the ranked choice special election. hahahaha. This is bad Begich, well-funded Begich, corrupt Begich. And it’s going to be between Peltola (awesome) and Palin (bat shit crazy).. if trend continues.. for finishing out the term for House through January.
These same three will be on the ballot in November, along with a mystery 4th, in a ranked choice vote for the two-year House term.
So many good things to say about Peltola, yet most Kossacks and media (even NPR) only seem to know the word Palin. Palin may pull this out for the special election through January. But with some better media coverage, including Kossacks, the new P word, Peltola, could actually hit name recognition status.
Peltola started out as 4th in the primary. She is now running 1st. That speaks to her integrity and grace. Her willingness to listen to others and be respectful to all. And her sound messaging.
Peltola is an Alaska Native woman from rural Alaska..Bethel. She accomplished all this based on her personal strength and integrity.
Alaska News Media knows her name..
Peltola leads in Alaska’s U.S. House race, followed by Palin and Begich
