If Sen. Lisa Murkowski is to retain her seat in the U.S. Senate she will have to do so without the support of the Alaska Republican Party. On March 13, three quarters of the Alaska Republican Party State Central Committee leadership voted to censure Murkowski for a litany of grievances that indicate she no longer supports the core mission and vision of the GOP.

Whether a break with the GOP will hinder Murkowski’s bid for a fourth term in the U.S. Senate remains to be seen. She is up for reelection in 2022, but this time around she can take advantage of the new ranked choice voting scheme that a narrow majority of Alaskans approved in the last general election.

Ranked-choice voting does away with all party primaries in favor of a nonpartisan primary in which the top four candidates go on to the general election. Many political observers see this as an advantage for Murkowski who is one of the most liberal Republicans in the U.S. Senate. By having a general, nonpartisan primary, candidates can hide their political affiliations and thereby conceal their true political philosophy from voters in the primary.

  • Must remove this RINO from the swamp.

  • Her defeat would be the best thing for Alaska and the country.  Maybe the people down in Utah will do the same for Romney.

     

  • The ranked choice "Open Primary" system in nothing less than a "protect the powerful incumbents" scam that is probably the main reason that California is virtually a one-party state. Besides the fact that all of the RINO's are dead set against term limits, this does not bode well for the people of Alaska, or any other state that allows such a system to be foisted upon them by the powerful politicians who will do anything to stay in power.

  • Time to pay the piper - she turned on our legal President and she should be abandoned by the GOP just as others are in other states.  Say goodbye!!!!  Hello Sarah!!!

    • Yeah, Sarah would be a great choice. More conservatives the better.

    • Yes, it would be fabulous if Sarah replaced her; I've been champing at the bit waiting for it.
