If the final numbers in Alaska race for Senate are close to those below, there will be a winner decided by Rank Voting. In Alaska  under rank voting, you vote for your choice and then list the other three candidates in order by who you would prefer if no one gets 50%. They will take the votes for the lowest candidate and distribute them to the other 3  by who the voters picked for the lead alternate. The problem is there are not enough votes even if all the  votes for the Independent went to any candidate to get to 50%.

Then they  will count for the next candidate and that is a Dem. Who did a Dem pick as their choice if the Dem did not win. I suspect  they picked Murkowski.  If no one gets 50%, the highest vote getter wins.

Palin's race  will also be decided by Rank Voting. Howere, the candidate who will be eliminated is a Republican. Did voters list Palin or the DEM on Belich's ballot? It won't be finalized for 2 weeks.
