On November 23, the Alaska Division of Elections finished the ranked choice tabulation and posted the results on its website. See here. On the far right, choose “Ranked Choice Voting Tabulations”.
The U.S. House race included a Libertarian, Chris Bye. The report shows that his voters made these second-choice votes: Nick Begich 1,988; Sarah Palin 1,064; Mary Peltola 1,030; no second choice 901. Thanks to Tony Roza for the link.
Looks rigged to me.
Interesting data about Libertarians there. Is there data about whether people who ranked Bye first, Begich second had a third choice?
It’s interesting how the #2 votes for Bye are split. As I suspected, nearly 25% chose the Democrat as their #2 choice. Not all Libertarian voters are closet Republicans.
This is good. It gives Libertarian candidates bargaining power in a close election.
RCV is for the birds. Forget about it.
RCV would work better if parties were allowed to control which candidates could run on their labels. This inability is one of the worst features of top-x voting.
It would still be an evil and stupid system no matter what.
