RCV voting is the biggest scam in history of elections. Of course, se when Trump wins the presidency his first action should be to dissolve the Alaska Republican party and criminally prosecute all the RINOS who actively or passively participated in that scam.

Apparently you are conveniently neglecting the fact that despite RCV, Alaska is pretty much an automatic VBM State, as well as a bit hefty on the AVR.

Really easy to bag on RCV (Granted not as big a fan of it as I was in the late '80s / early '90s), but still it does allow voters to back various Minor Party Candidates such as GRN and LBT, WP, and CON to be able to vote for their 1st choice candidate, but ultimately perform more like a certain style of "European Style" of runoff elections, where minority party candidates can be part of coalition state GVTs.

This is something which has been floated around for something like (40) yrs back, which I discovered when I was a Tweener, from European Election Models running around the same time of "proportional representation models".

I digress, but humbly "BigSerg" would strongly suggest perhaps a "Back To School" moment might be a positive development in the future of your work, academic, and business professional career.

Preliminary map of the approximate final results by state house district-



I’m shocked Peltola only won Anchorage by 6%. I thought it would’ve been by more, given Biden won Anchorage.

The districts in the Anchorage insert take in parts of other boroughs tbf, so it is not a one-to-one comparison.

Edit: The districts in question were won by Trump 52-44, so its swing is in line with the state.

So my research into the election results from Anchorage Alaska in the 2020 PRES-GE, which I believe were likely the final results:

Included one HD-12, which was split between two precincts part of the City of Anchorage and two that were not part of the City of Anchorage.

Not quite sure where I stashed my Excel file with the precinct results and swings, old man memory and all that, but yeah HD-12 would definitely be ground zero to look at the swings.

Not sure if these maps are based upon SDs or HDs, but certainly it explains quite a bit of the mystery there. Wink
