I think you are the one who doesn’t understand. The first question is who initiated this voting system in Alaska. Republicans control both the state house and state Senate. And they control the Governorship. Could it be they passed this law?
As for the election itself, it is completely irrelevant that the TWO Republican candidates got 63% of the vote. Had this been a regular election with three people on the ballot, Peltola would have won because she had more votes than the second person and certainly more than the third.
Thirty six percent of the voters who voted for Begich chose Mary Peltola over the other Republican. Republicans chose a Democrat over a Republican. What does that tell you about Sara Palin?
And that 15% who did not indicate a second Choice? If they had done so in the proportion as those who did so indicate, Palin would still have lost by 3,000 votes.

A "regular" election would not have had 2 Republicans on the ballot.

Alaska had agreed a while ago to send out $3200 stimulus checks to those eligible. I wonder if this effected the election for that open seat. My money says it did. People associate money for nothing with Democrats.

Important To Note:
The GOP would rather lose to a Democrat than have a MAGA Republican win.
Both parties hate Trump and his movement with a passion because of the threat to the on-going corruption. Who needs to "represent" the people when you can grab power and line your and your family's pockets with lots of wealth?!

Much truth to this.
The best thing Trump did was awaken more people to the fact that DC is the most corrupt and pitiful institution in the world.

Trump, and after Biden's speech last night, you and Trump are officially enemies of America.

What I heard in Bidens speech was:
There's about to be arrests
That's why he kept repeating MAGA Republicans. He said MAGA numerous times.
He knows what's coming, probably after November, but it could be sooner. An event beyond his control might force them to start early.
Trump, numerous members of his administration, his lawyers, sitting senator, congress members are about to be arrested for Treason.
They will wrap Maga up, and Biden told Republicans last night, THEY'RE JUST MAGA'S.

I wouldn't expect anything less from an administration whose leader was beholden to the likes of China and Ukraine.
Acting just like them.
Outlaw rival parties.
You just sit idly by and accept this as the American way.
Banning opposition parties and leaders.

Only a lost mind would disagree with the following statement.
Donald Trump hatched a plot that included the likely assination of Mike Pence.
