Ranked Choice Voting had a bit of a "moment" in 2022, helping send Democrat Mary Peltola to congress in Alaska, and clearing a first-ballot hurdle for statewide acceptance in Nevada. This year, proponents of the RCV process got proposals on the ballot in four states (Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and the confirmation vote in NV), but ultimately found themselves on defense, losing all four, and also losing a Missouri ballot measure to ban the method from use in the state.  A measure to repeal RCV in Alaska failed by just 743 votes. Conversely, use of RCV continues to expand in cities and other localities. In Washington DC, a measure to introduce RCV passed with over 70% of the vote this year.Our guest today, Josh Rosa, is on the Steering Committee of Better Ballot Sacramento, an organization promoting adoption of Ranked Choice Voting in Sacramento.  Rosa is a lecturer at Sacramento State and has a long history in the capitol community, including a stint in the Schwarzenegger administration. We chat about the various types of RCV and look at the pros and cons of the system.Plus - Who had the Worst Week in California Politics?Show Notes:3:06 What is Ranked Choice Voting?6:26 Benefits10:29 Downsides13:23 What is driving newfound opposition to RCV?17:05 How does the Sacramento plan stack up?20:02 Insights?26:47 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

As Americans across the country suffer under the failed policies from Biden/Harris, 2 crucial Congressional races will play a pivotal role in the election. Rob Bresnahan is running in north east Pennsylvania, district 8. This district's votes generally determine the rest of the commonwealth and the 19 electoral votes that will be crucial in securing the White House. Rob shares insight into this critical battleground state as voters in his district are saying the same thing every American is saying. Cost of living is too high, crime in the community is on the rise, an unsecure border has devastated communities with fentanyl and illegal immigration. President Trump has visited the commonwealth over 5 times in the recent months and Rob has seen a huge switch from registered Democrats to Republicans. Running against an extreme progressive Matt Cartwright, Rob is ready to take district 8's Congressional seat and keep a Republican majority in Congress. Up in Alaska, Nick Begich ran a campaign that resonated with voters enough to have current Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom drop out of the race. With Alaska's convoluted rank choice voting this was the best way to ensure a Republican secures the Congressional seat. It was rank choice voting in the 2022 special election that allowed leftist Democrat Mary Peltola to get into office. Alaska's vote will be detrimental in the election should the race come to a 269-269 tie. Alaska is a red state that Donald Trump won by 10 points in 2020. Nick Begich is ready to represent Alaska to make the state and the country great again.

In a major political upset, Democrat Mary Peltola this week beat  Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin to be Alaska's next representative in the U.S. House.Who is Mary Peltola? How did she win? How did the Republican candidates lose? And what does Peltola's victory mean in the lead-up to the general election in November? On this episode, host Elizabeth Harball is joined by Anchorage Daily News reporter Iris Samuels to discuss all these questions and more about Alaska's unique, high-profile special election for Alaska's lone seat in the U.S. House. For more local and state news, subscribe to ADN today.This episode of ADN Politics is sponsored by SteamDot Coffee.

Democrat Mary Peltola defeated Sarah Palin in a closely watched special congressional election in Alaska. NBC News reports. The Washington Post explains how Biden’s student-loan forgiveness program will work, and how borrowers feel about it. Men have fewer friends than ever, and it’s harming their health. Vox illustrates the consequences. One of Hollywood's most prolific directors doesn't actually exist. Vice explains.

It's a shocker in Alaska as Democrat Mary Peltola won Alaska's special election on Wednesday, making her “the first Alaska Native in Congress,” the Anchorage Daily News' Iris Samuels reports. Peltola is also the first person elected via the state's new ranked-choice voting system.  “Peltola topped Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin after ballots were tallied and after votes for third-place GOP candidate Nick Begich III were redistributed to his supporters' second choices. Peltola, a Yup'ik former state lawmaker who calls Bethel home, is now slated to be the first woman to hold Alaska's lone U.S. House seat.” Peltola, Palin and Begich will face off again in November for a full term. While Washington chews on headlines about President Joe Biden's pre-midterm road blitz and former President Donald Trump's legal jeopardy, an American city of more than 150,000 people is struggling to deliver clean drinking water to its residents. There's no clear end in sight to the crisis in Jackson, Miss., which was sparked by record rainfall that flooded the Pearl River but is rooted in much more persistent issues of public disinvestment, political neglect and racial inequity. As with Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, as well as the water crisis in Flint, Mich., majority-Black communities are left bearing the brunt of the dysfunction — not just during a crisis, but for years before and after.

Trump's lawyers said they wanted the special master to decide questions of executive privilege, not just the limited question of attorney-client privilege. Some legal experts have said that executive privilege exists during a dispute between different branches of government, not the same one, as in this case. In Wednesday's response, Trump's attorneys downplayed the Justice Department's concerns about the classified material found at Mar-a-Lago, saying in the filing that there was no "cause for alarm." They added that the Justice Department "significantly mischaracterized" in their filing of a meeting in June between prosecutors and Trump's legal team. And, they added, that without a special master, prosecutors will "impugn, leak and publicize" details of its investigation. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) lost to Democrat Mary Peltola in a special election to fill the state's vacant House seat, Alaska officials announced Wednesday, more than two weeks after polls closed—thwarting Palin's plans for a political comeback, at least for now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin review all that has transpired since we last heard them in August. Democrat Mary Peltola will be the first Alaska Native elected to Congress, benefiting from Alaska's newly adopted ranked-choice voting and Peltola's long held fishy opinions. Let's give Alaska a high 5! Sarah Palin, reacting to Peltola's win and her loss, replied “DERP?” Today, Sarah's word will be “RIGGED!”. Democrats don't need dopey candidates opposing them to win, but it helps. President Joe Biden is sailing out of FPOTUS' reach, and the Democratic Party follows him. Roevember is coming, and Democrats have the Roementum! The DOJ slapped Donald Trump around the last few days after Trump demanded a special master, and so of course he's going to do it again. Trump is ready to explain everything, officer. But first, hand him back what he stole, and he'll be on his way. The theft of top-secret documents and obstructing their investigation sure seems like very bad thing, and Republicans seem to be in disarray, but we're assured there is no cause for alarm, just a few bad apple lawyers Donald hardly even knew will need to be delt with. Some lawyers may not quite get that they need to take one for the team, however. They get those things in Russia. Vlad is skipping Gorby's funeral, because he's busy shutting off the lights on his version of a failed state. Perestroika is out, Defenestroika is in, with passé plutocrats plunging through the glasnost and stroika the sidewalk.

Trump responds to the DOJ's damning new court filing about the Mar-a-Lago search, admitting sensitive documents were found at Mar-a-Lago but arguing it's not a big deal, with one of the former president's attorneys calling espionage and obstruction “Mundane statutes”. CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen tells Don about the key legal points Trump's response fails to address.CNN Host Fareed Zakaria joins to discuss what America's allies could be thinking about their intelligence information being potentially compromised due to the Mar-a Lago situation, and the consequences for democracy if Trump is either charged, or not. Plus, Democrat Mary Peltola defeats former GOP Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for the Alaska House seat, Serena Williams advances to third round of U.S. open, and in Alabama, a black pastor is arrested for watering his neighbor's flowers while they were away on vacation.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The Alaska Division of Elections reports Democrat Mary Peltola will fill Alaska's House seat for the rest of the year, meaning Republican Sarah Palin won't make a political comeback just yet. CNN Political Director David Chalian breaks down the factors involved in this race and what it could mean for November's race. Democrats are seeing success in special elections, and one poll suggests midterm voters are motivated more by abortion rights lately than inflation. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Democrat Mary Peltola has won the special election for Alaska's U.S. House seat. Also, police say a Ketchikan man picked up a half million dollars worth of illegal drugs. And after a multi-year lawsuit, cruise lines sign an agreement with the city of Juneau.

Mike & Trey open the episode with a look back at the political legacy of Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, who died this week. They believe that even though Gorbachev has long been out of power, his impact is felt to this day and there are important lessons we can take away from his failure to preserve the Soviet system.After that, they're joined by Ken Katkin for a discussion of President Biden's prime-time speech warning of the danger to democracy posed by MAGA Republicans. Ken and Mike end up being somewhat more critical of Biden's speech than Trey, who believes it was important for Biden to make a strong, public statement against forces that turned the current GOP into a party Trey finds difficult to support.Then it's a discussion of the search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and office. They get into what the unsealed affidavit revealed (not much, due to all the redactions), Trump's call for a special master to go through the seized materials, the potential dangers of a Trump prosecution, and how they envision events playing out.They close the episode by looking at the special election to fill Alaska's lone US House seat, where Democrat Mary Peltola came out on top of Republican Sarah Palin. Mike, Trey, and Ken consider what this election might tell us about the upcoming midterm elections, as well as their thoughts about rank choice voting more generally.The Politics Guys on Facebook | TwitterListener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.
