@bbs1derzy@MsAvaArmstrong@SenSusanCollins Outcome altering is not the line we must use. The line has to be there are zero illegal non citizen voters, outcomes effected or not. There are plenty of elections where 1 vote is the deciding factor, especially in small communities. So yes, that’s why I support the save act.
@bbs1derzy@EricLDaugh In AK this is an all or nothing deal. The whole RCV & no party primaries is going to get eliminated or not. It’s all 1 big package like a light switch. It will be on or off. That’s how it’s been since it was 1st initiated. When I was living there I saw zero interest in tinkering.
@907Honest I do recall when this happened Bernadette said something like Lisa is the sitting US Senator and was due that much recognition. Or something like that and it did not mean she was a fan. But I’d rather she spoke to it herself.
@907Honest Would have been nice if they had simply left Kelly T alone & let her and Lisa have their own contest without outside influence. Maybe a very nice contribution to the repeal campaign would help a lot right now.
FAILED: The motion to attach the SAVE America Act to the budget reconciliation bill fails.

New at the Chronicle: Dorothy Moon has announced she is running for a third term as Idaho GOP chairwoman. Here's why I fully support her:

@bbs1derzy I don’t think that will happen. I agree there are good reasons to consider doing this, but there are too many in AK that want to say they are R’s no matter if they abide by the platform or not. When it has been suggested it gets criticized as a purity test by party critics.
@AsheSchow Alaska is far away but what is going on there w/elections might perk your interest. Liberals purposely trying to sabotage the ranked choice ballot in the US Senate race by running a previous Dem with the identical name as Dan Sullivan who is now reregistered Republican
This week's newsletter: foul play in the Alaska Senate race. Also, how much of Graham Platner's past is he allowed to write off? Hope you like it and subscribe! https://t.co/Wm7HXa1agd via @WSJopinion
@907Honest@dend531@Bernadette4Gov@NickforAlaska It’s complicated. 2complicated 2B used as a system of voting 4 government offices. And add dem manipulation of the US Senate election by having a Dem register as an R who has the identical name as the incumbent R Senator. The existing AK legislators should all be calling out RCV.
You really can’t explain Alaska politics to people outside, but I’m going to try to show you how crazy it is. 48 candidates for US House including Sarah Palin and Betty’s veterinarian’s husband.
“This election should be won by earning votes, not by confusing voters.”
The Alaska Republican Party has unanimously endorsed Senator @DanSullivan_AK for re-election to the United States Senate.
Alaska voters deserve honesty, transparency, and a fair election process.

My baby is in a grave, she will NEVER come home Senator.
The reckless policies you championed and defend helped create an environment that enabled a person who never should have been in our country to kill her.
And this despite an awful background and serious infectious health issues Illinois failed to identify or help treat.
Is that your definition of compassion, Senator?
Any consideration for Katie Abraham and other innocent law abiding citizens like her, or is your compassion only selective and political?
Your “compassion” is as selective and inauthentic as @GovPritzker
And exactly how is this bettering our nation Senator?
