I can't believe this actually even in question. But if I look at the results (Real Clear Politics) and assign the winners based on who is CURRENLY ahead, I get:
Rep 221
Dem 214
So really close, and won't be official for a few days.
BTW, Alaska, with their dumb rank choice voting, has the Dem leading, with 47.2% of the vote. The two Republicans (Palin/Begich) add up to 50.8%. So the fact that neither Repub would take one for the team will likely cost the Republicans this seat.

That's even dumber than losing an election straight up with election fraud.

Yeah, donâ€t ever allow your state to go ranked choice.  What a train wreck that system is

If you get time, go to the organization's web site that is pushing rank choice voting. It is eye opening. They know exactly what they are doing.

Democrats are pushing this because Republicans are too stupid to know how to vote for their party.

Well we've seen Alaska twice now elect a dem, so evidently people are too stupid to figure the system out.

Alaska has always been pretty moderate. Itâ€s definitely not Trump land. It usually goes for Republicans, but not overwhelmingly so. See Murkowski, who is pretty representative of the state.
