AMERICAN APARTHEID future Presidential candidate Tom Cotton has been trying to make hay over the Alaskan election which the Democrat Mary Peltola won over the putrid carny show spectacle candidate of the kind Republican-fascists have been putting so much stock in, Sarah Palin, whining that a majority of those in the election voted for a Republican but the Democrat who "lost" will take the seat.
What happened under the great practice of ranked-choice voting is that the last choice of a majority, of those who voted for Peltola and for Nick Begich, the one who placed third would rather have had Peltola than the concussed Palin in Congress.
What happens in ranked-choice is that the majorities least favorite candidate loses, which is certainly better than the majority having their least favorite candidate take office. That is something that an American apartheid creep like Cotton can't live with because, given a choice to avoid the worst, most voters will opt for their second choice over the worst and Tom Cotton's Republican Part is the worst that wants the worst.
I am certain that the second choice of those who voted for Mary Pelota put Begich as their second choice. Though its conceivable some of them might have opted for the insane clown Palin. A dangerous number of Alaskan voters seems to have wanted to send her to Washington to "represent" them. Though she certainly would not have represented anyone but a small minority of the rich and corrupt, a dangerous percentage of American voters are either too stupid or too full of hate to vote even their own best interest and ranked choice voting protects most of us from them and their gullibility. Would that the damned Maine Supreme Court and the stupid Maine State Constitution had allowed us to have it in the election of the Maine governor because we are in real danger of having the hating-stupid minority put Paul LePage back in office next year.
