Watch live: The Alaska Division of Elections is set to start steaming results from the special U.S. House race at 4 p.m.
to get a reminder. It’s a new process for the state, and the division hasn’t provided a lot of details, but viewers should be able to see all the action. Or as much as one can see from a process that’s really a computer query applied to data.
The first elimination round will be the write-ins. Ballots with a write-in for first choice will be redistributed to the other candidates according to what the voter put in second choice, if anything. Then the third-place finisher – likely Nick Begich III – will be eliminated. His ballots will also be redistributed to the voter’s next choice.
That will yield the final result. If Sarah Palin gains enough second-choice votes to overtake Mary Peltola’s lead, she’ll win. If not, Peltola will. The three candidates are scheduled to meet later today, at 3 p.m., for an in-person candidate forum in downtown Anchorage hosted by the Alaska Oil and Gas Association. It is slated to end 15 minutes before the Division of Elections’ livestream begins.
