Comments on: McConnell versus the MAGA Republicans of Alaska, who censure him https://thenewneo.com/2022/10/25/mcconnell-versus-the-maga-republicans-of-alaska-who-censure-him/ A blog about political change, among other things Wed, 26 Oct 2022 15:19:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: JFM https://thenewneo.com/2022/10/25/mcconnell-versus-the-maga-republicans-of-alaska-who-censure-him/#comment-2649898 Wed, 26 Oct 2022 15:19:20 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=121526#comment-2649898 Alaska is a very different place from the rest of the country. We really feel separate from the “Lower 48”. The attack ads against Tshbaka are flat out stupid and insulting to us. “Likely” committing fraud isn’t committing fraud. And it’s common for people being moved up here to get huge moving bonuses as an incentive. In the latest ad Tshbaka is accused of violating fishing regs at the end of the ad a fish is slapped down-a bass, which we don’t have here. Oddly enough, we don’t go for attack ads in Alaska. And we hate outsiders meddling. These ads may have the opposite result than intended.

If you had an actual complaint rather than an irritable mental gesture, we’d have heard the complaint.

There were three posts. The first concerned preparation of the voter roll, classification of constituencies and contests as to whether you make use of party primaries to winnow candidates for the general election or whether you have a free-for-all among all aspirants, and modes by which you nominate and designate candidates. The third post was an addendum on modes of designating candidates. All of these are concerns without regard to the tabulation method you use. First past the post / ranked-choice / d’Hont PR, doesn’t matter. You have to have procedures for assembling the voter roll and designating candidates for the ballot.

The second post, which was about 400 words long, actually concerned methods of tabulating a ranked-choice contest. It went over your head, but not because the method is complicated.

Don’t be a Bunge.
