Sarah Palin and ranked choice voting
I find the results of this election quite telling, and revealing of the problems with today's GOP and their extreme candidates.
It sounds like people either voted Palin #1, or put her last. There are a few hints that nationally some of the extreme GOP candidates may fail in the general election in the same way in states/districts that are moderate or evenly split.
Just remember, poll after poll shows a strong majority of Americans:
1) Support some kind of abortion rights,
2) Think Trump needs to be criminally investigated,
3) Know the 2020 election was legitimate
Extreme candidates win in districts/states that are gerrymandered, or lean heavily to one party.
Even conservative Kansas rejected further abortion restrictions.
It will be interesting to see what happens in November. The GOP will probably regain seats, but it will be nowhere near what it was in 2010.
