Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska I can’t vote Peltola…

What’s the pro’s and cons to Begich? The commercials concern me!

Ignore the negative ads and vote Begich if we don,t like him we can vote him out Dems are in a war to get the Senate and House. Get rid of RANK CHOICE. Petola needs to go!!

I'm so tired of the old "vote him/her in and if we don't like them we can vote them out in 4 years" line.
How's that worked so far? Have we been able to get rid of Murkowski? Pelozi? And the list goes on and on. Peltola is in for life now unfortunately.

Neither candidate wants to mention what their plans are to help Alaskans. It is also disappointing that Begich outsources so many jobs to India.

Make sure to vote "YES" on Ballot Measure #2 to repeal Rank-choice Voting. This is how Peltola got in.

Murkowski helped to bring us rank-choice voting, and repealing this abomination should help us to send her on her way. She's never received a majority vote, except in 2022 when rank-choice voting boosted her in the final count. I'm still pissed about her "independent" candidacy in 2010 after she was beaten fair and square in the primary.

You just proved my point

Don’t vote for a democrat…ever.

Whatever shortcomings Nick might have, he’s TONS better than the fish captain.

The D ads against him are out of context, deceptively edited, or flat out lies.

Trump/Vance

NBIII

NO on 1 (minimum wage)

YES on 2 (RCV)

Yup , when Lyin liiisa said she’d support the primary winner, until it wasn’t her. Then ran the rigged write in.

And what Peltola has/hasn’t done doesn’t concern you??

It appears peltoa voted to ban oil and gas exploration and development plus she did vote to seize guns via red flag laws. I do not support her on any level but do support Nick Begich.

The ads about vets/military losing their voting rights if RCV is repealed are just a flat-out lie. And look at where the money is coming from for those ads.... it ain't Alaska. RCV and Peltola need to go.

Looks like my vote will be for Begich

Nick Begich own liberal grandmother and two liberal uncles won’t vote for him that’s good enough for me to vote for him. Beside Peltola is dumb as hell, recently veterans contacted her office about the staffing shortage a vet centers. Her office said vet centers are ran by the state of Alaska and not part of Department of Veterans Affairs. When in fact Vet Centers are part of Veteran Affairs at the federal level. Anyhow just one instance of out if touch and not very smart. She also doesn’t realize abortion in Alaska is guaranteed in the state constitution. So her campaigning women’s rights and guaranteeing abortion rights is false. She should not concern herself with other states issues. Just concentrate on Alaskas issues at the federal level. Last polls out their showed Begich winning. You noticed no recent polls are out, I suspect they aren’t good for the river boat captain.

Have no clue how anyone could even consider voting for her, now or then. The option stinks to hell, but its the only option.

Vote for Begich

Pelt olas voting record is lousy, shes a Democrat.

Is that not reason enough?

And F yes on 2.

Outside interests are pouring money in to keep RC.

That should be a clue

Peltola has to run every two years... Congress runs that way. She can be kicked out.

Begich hires IT folks from India... how many companies have you had to go through Indian services to get help?

"I can't vote Peltola..."

Hey, neither can I!!!!

Nick gets endorsement from GOA.

https://mustreadalaska.com/go-big-nick-begich-endorsed-by-gun-owners-of-america/


“After receiving an “A” rating from Gun Owners of America, we’re pleased to announce the ENDORSEMENT of GOA! GOA is the nation’s strongest defender of our 2nd Amendment rights and boasts over 2,000,000 members nationwide. The Constitution is clear: the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” Begich wrote.



Peltola received a score of 55% out of a dozen votes she took that are on the GOA endorsement grid, earning an F.

Peltola is making [bleep] up in her negative ads.


She’s desperate

Did anyone watch the debate last night?
She looked like a deer in the headlights.

And...... the "Vote No" on rank choice repeal, is at least as deceptive and full of lies as the original ones that got it illegally passed.

"Dark money" - the boogyman in the closet - is once more a false pillar of the advertising, but in fact is funding the whole "No" campaign. The 3 top money launderers behind the "No", are all Outside dark-money organisations, promoting this sham nationwide, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in constant-blanket, "mushroom" advertising.

No one is being prevented from voting for whom they chose - another lie.

It is all designed to ensure wins for the Libs, the Rinos, and "Independents" - ie, those who can't research or determine their vote without 30-second soundbites.

I have to admit however, that compromise-elected officials may not be any worse than what is produced by the uni-party "system".

Nick's got good answers for their questions or what they're blaming him in the ads for look up the people who are funding the no on two campaign ...a bunch of leftist hacks you won't believe it when you get in there and start digging....

Caribou Jack,
I've got to say I'm wholeheartedly voting for Nick Begich III. Did you see the debate on Channel 7 recently. He cleaned her clock and she was so "out to lunch" it was almost embarrassing.
And dangit, we definitely have got to get rid of "Rank Choice Voting" since that's why we got stuck with Mary Manyhusbands and Princess Lisa.

I’ve come to the same conclusion!

Atta boy!!
😁

😆😆😆
Goid one!
@4 now?

Last I heard with the ranked choice crap, you get more mileage if you vote only a single choice, you get more mileage, is that still the case? I’m already a yes on measure 2, I just don’t know if anything has changed.

Mathematically it depends on how well you do at picking the leading candidates. If you rank the 1st and 2nd losers as your first two choices you will get more do-overs and your third place choice will be counted. If you chose one of the top two ranked candidates as your first choice, it is likely the only one that will count. Your lessor choices will be eliminated in the first two circle jerk rounds and your first choice will still be valid. Chances of one of the top two candidates not getting over 50% by the third round are pretty slim. Unless people that chose the first two losers do not rank the leading two candidates at all.

What ever you do - NEVER RANK Peltola in any position.

On the other hand, I did hear a radio ad the other day that stated she is endorsed by the NRA! WTF?? SMH!!

Correct.

F NRA

The same group that gave Mark Begich an “A” rating, after being part of Bloomberg’s antigun club.

I'll vote for Nick a second fkn time. First time, he could've made concessions with Palin, and actually won.

He's really nothing fkn special.

Alaska has no shortage of charlatan, trust-fund babies who think they're important when they're not.

That little pencil-neck, suburbia cock sucker couldn't run a trap line., run a dog team, commercial fish, log old growth, guide a hunt, summit denali, or anything Alaskan.

Well I have to vote for the girl now cuz Lisa said so sorry Nick....

I don't much care if he could or couldn't do any of the above, as long as he can run the office and his job, in a conservative manner that does the most for the state and country.

But you know exactly what I mean. RINOS can't do the above. Either. Generally speaking.

With her ads out there anybody know what Don Young's beef was with Nick ?

Nick registered for the primary.

Don hung in too long, didnt groom a successor, and felt nick betrayed him.

We wouldnt have had peltola and the mess leading up to that, if Don had thought ahead.

Consider the source. Enemy propaganda.

Vote for the ONE candidate you want. DON'T rank anyone.

Playing the RCV game only dilutes your vote and makes you fractionally lesser of a person, with each additional vote you cast toward other candidates. Oh......YES On 2. Kill that MFer!

Where is the money coming from for the vote no on 2? I could probably do some digging but I figure one of you guys will know.

NEA Alaska, NEA National, Unions, and "dark" money from national donors. National includes Democratic National Convention and several other large donor group 501's (cover groups) related to the D.N.C.

Saw on the ads that it was from the DSMFs. Specifically Chitcago and Houston.

Just seeing some numbers where nick is up... That'll probably change when the free handed me out village numbers get in

Rank choice numbers and Begich? updates

Looks like Begich won over Peltola with 50.02%. if I am not mistaken...
🐻

https://www.adn.com/politics/2024/11/05/preliminary-2024-alaska-general-election-results/

Link dead at the moment. What I could find is too close to call. I mean WTF really? How damn stupid are people.

Looks like Begich has it but is slightly below 50%. Not sure how ranked choice plays into it now. Not sure anyone does.


I was looking at districts and the villages went hard for Peltola but not necessarily for Harris.

I think Harris being Indian but pretending to be black had a lot to do with that.

KTVF in Fairbanks is reporting Begich at 52.2% and Peltola at 47.6%. That's with 75.9% of the votes reported in so far.

Good. If we are above 50% the ranked choice BS doesn’t apply.



Congrats fellow Alaskans. We no longer need to be embarrassed with the exception of Lizza.

Looks like prop 2 is passing 51% to 49% with 75% of voting districts reporting.

🤔
Working for me right now.

But if prop 2 fails to pass it says TONS about whats going on in the state mentally with people....

Say good bye to a bunch of fast food joints, restaurants, and such. Bumping the minimum wage up is going to kill them!

Is there a minimum number employees needed for that to apply? A biz with <10 is going to be hurt.

I am not sure. The title was enough for me to vote no.

Sullivan is hardly a shining star!

I voted against it, but does anyone even work for minimum wage anymore? I paid a kid $15 an hour to clean my boat.

That will be the minimum wage in a couple years. By law, not anyones choice. Plus paid sick leave

I agree, but the kid very likely had skills and a work ethic... rare in today's work field entrants.

Not the point really. The ones that are worth it will get more than minimum anyway.

I don’t know if any kid/adult that will work for minimum wage anymore.

Like I said I voted against it but you can’t even get a babysitter anymore for even 2x minimum wage.

Minimum wage here is 10.55. The lowest actual wage anywhere is over 15 an hour. I would not expect there to be anything under 20 an hour in Alaska.

Is Begich going to lose to rank choice?

Good chance, as there are a lot of early/absentee and village votes to be counted yet, probably mostly for Peltola. But as of now, he only needs .5% to make it 50% (plus 20 votes?), to avoid a stinky finger manipulative.

I voted yes on one. As per above, the min wage clause doesn't really apply mostly, and I approve of sick leave when needed (it can be abused).

When I retired from KPB employment, I had $26K of sick leave built up on the books, of which I got comped half . After 4 years with AKAir in Kotzebue, I had used none of their fairly generous sick leave. None of it was comped when I left. A co-worker took every hour as soon as she could, but she was a worthless bitch anyway. Nobody missed her and she was eventually let go. But she "worked" the heck out of the system for almost 2 years.

Several of my co-workers used it to go hunting, or when hung-over.

There was a teacher here that lost his job, and his certificate, being stupid... He asked his Principal for PL to fish the commercial halibut opening and was refused. Called in sick that day. Principal called his boat....

He was a lousy teacher anyway, and Paul was looking for an excuse...

Same here and nothing is closing.

We are now entering the period where the most worthless generation in all of humanoid history is going to be the dominate generation in the "workforce".

Hey that's what they said about us hippies lol!

Alaska voting results by house district: elections.alaska.gov/election-results/

I'm pleased that my district supported DJT for president by over a 2:1 margin. Juneau on the other hand was roughly 70% Harris and 30% Trump.

Repeal of the ranked-choice voting is still leading, but absentee/mail-ins are still being counted. Looks close.

Looking at the judge retention numbers for my district, EVERY one of them had more no votes, so how do they always seem to stay in position? What's the point of voting if they don't get tossed out on their asses?
