US Politics: Bike tricks

[The_Right_Honourable_Brit]

I thought ranked choice requires 50% to win? Candidates are sequentially eliminated until that criteria is met or all votes have been counted. That's my understanding of it.

I mean a candidate with less than 50% of the vote can win in the winner-takes-all system used in other states

In theory, yes, but I learned that in Alaska, not everyone has to have a 2nd choice. So if a large enough number of Bergich supporters don't specify a 2nd choice, the Democrat could win with less than 50% of the total votes cast (total votes cast = 1st + 2nd + 3rd in this case). In the most extreme case, no Bergich supporters could specify any alternative, and then you'd get the results as they stand now.

Obama legacy actually, compounded by TDS, which ironically prevented the swamp draining

Wouldn't pay much attention to it - it was an online poll of < 1500 "opt-in" poll Americans.

Portland is such a nice place. Also violent street takeovers are all the rage in the US these days.

Portland street takeover: Squealing tires, gunshots

Three people were shot at a street takeover in Portland Sunday night at the same time police were responding to different shootings across the city.

So many shootings in Portland, too few police officers. What the article doesn't say is that Cameron Taylor was apparently killed by a stray bullet meant for this man trying to get away from the violent savages:
