The MSM making a big deal of the supposed recruitment is a big reminder of how they want to create a bothsides world. This:
Has already been done multiple times by Republicans
Isn’t really a problem because of ranked choice voting
Has already been ruled as not a problem by the Alaska SC
If Peltola was behind this it feels more like bait for the Republican’s to lose their shit over a non-issue than a legitimate dirty tactic. Like I respect that she’s willing to play for keeps, but also hope she didn’t think this was some master strategy. If she did then I’m really worried.
It’s a funny demonstration of why ranked choice voting is cool, but the NYT is treating this as if they uncovered unconscionable election tampering. Which then fuels actually dangerous Republican stunts like this.
