I may not have been clear....If 27% voted for the dim, that leaves 73% that did not. If the votes are close to evenly split, that means that 36.5% voted for each. 36.5 plus 27 equals 63.5% that did not vote for miller. A very clear majority of the voters did not want miller. My question is, why? was he a bad candidate? or has alaska gone communist?
I’m as mystified as you are that so many didn’t vote for Miller. I don’t understand it either.

That’s not quite getting at the nub of it here, imho Joe. If murky hadn’t lied, and had dropped out of the race after she lost in the primary, as she said she would, then a ‘very clear majority of the voters’ would have voted FOR Miller. As it was, murky lied, and there was a 3 way race - almost like a modified primary - with the RAT dragging down the percentages. The primary was similarly close, btw.
I do think, BTW, that AK is not as conservative as some may think - probably not as conservative as say Idaho, or Utah...clearly proves the point that an R after someone’s name does not necessarily equate to true conservative.
a clear majority did not want Cow....and a clear majority did not want the rat.....
I moved to Alaska last year. I am beginning to believe there is a mafia type ruling class there.
Something is not right but I can’t tell you what it is.
I do know this. Both parties in Alaska are corrupt.
