GOP Chances of Losing Alaska Governor's Race as Dems Take Top Primary Spots
Democrats are hoping to win a governor's race in Alaska for the first time in nearly 30 years.
Alaska's gubernatorial election in November could see Democrats take the office for the first time in nearly three decades, according to the latest primary results. The state's unique top-four primary system followed by ranked-choice voting has created a competitive race among four candidates from both parties. While Republicans currently lead in votes, Democrats have support from a majority of voters in the current round of ranked-choice voting.
The use of ranked-choice voting and nonpartisan primaries in Alaska could lead to a more progressive candidate potentially winning the election.
