【中选战场州·众院篇】阿拉斯加Peltola暂时领先，莎拉·佩玲紧咬不放

阿拉斯加的Mary Peltola ，11月要再次面对GOP群狼的挑战

虽然Mary Peltola的民调暂时领先，

但是因为阿拉斯加复杂的 ranked-choice voting 系统，

以及莎拉·佩玲和Trump endorsement的双重明星效应，

最终鹿死谁手，尚未可知

Democrat Mary Peltola pulled off an upset win in Alaska's special House election in August when she defeated a pool of Republicans, including former Alaska governor and onetime vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Rep. Peltola is the first Democrat to represent Alaska in the House in 50 years.

But Peltola's win did not take her off the campaign trail; her win only secured her a few months in the House as she finishes out her predecessor's term. In November Peltola will once again face Palin, as well as Nick Begich III, the grandson of former Alaska Rep. Nick Begich Sr., who is running as a Republican despite coming from a powerful Democratic family.

August's special election was the first time Alaska tested its new ranked-choice voting system, which left some voters confused. The question now is whether conservative voters will change their ranked order votes after seeing how they benefited Peltola, or if electing her was their intention all along. If the win doesn't go to Peltola, Palin appears to be next in line.
