The Democrat won because of stupid and confusing ranked choice voting. In the first primary round with 22 candidates the total number of votes for the eventual winner was 10% and Palin had the highest total at around 27%. In the next round there were three candidates, one Dem and two Republicans. The eventual winner got 37%, the two Republicans got 56% of the vote. Unfortunately and likely because it is so confusing over 11,000 of the the third place votes for a Republican did not have a second choice so the Democrat tipped over 50%. Had all the third choice votes picked a second and the ratio of his votes were allocated to Palin and the Dem similar to the ones that did have a second choice vote then Palin would have won. I know math, logic and reason are hard for you but expect ranked choice voting, the worst idea ever, to be repealed in Alaska because a strong majority of them wanted to be rep'd by a Republican. She will be in office exactly two years.
But please do take the leftist govt media approach and take this as a harbinger of the mid-terms and Trump backed candidates.
