Summary
Alaska’s governor’s race is heating up as Republicans face a tough choice: unite or fracture under ranked-choice voting. With 17 primary candidates whittled down to one Democrat and three GOP contenders, the party’s push to scrap the system clashes with its own strategy. Bernadette Wilson, top Republican vote-getter, urges supporters to rank her first only—fearing that splitting votes could let the Democrat win outright without needing ranked-choice mechanics. Former GOP officials warn this setup fuels infighting instead of coalition-building. Meanwhile, Candice English enters the fray with no platform and questionable registration, running alongside Jodi Taylor, wife of another candidate, using a shared email. The GOP’s next move could make or break this election. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
