After Mary Peltola (D) defeated Sarah Palin (R) in Alaska’s special election Wednesday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) discredited the voting system used by Alaska voters that they chose to implement in their state, tweeting that ranked choice voting system “is a scam to rig elections,” NBC News reports.
It should be noted that Peltola did get the most votes in the first round before ranked choice was used.
