    Maybe not, there is still a primary in Alaska.
    AS 15.25.110. Filling Vacancies By Party Petition.

    If a candidate of a political party nominated at the primary election dies, withdraws, resigns, becomes disqualified from holding the office for which the candidate is nominated, or is certified as being incapacitated in the manner prescribed by this section after the primary election and 48 days or more before the general election, the vacancy may be filled by party petition. The central committee of any political party or any party district committee may certify as being incapacitated any candidate nominated by their respective party by presenting to the director a sworn statement made by a panel of three licensed physicians, not more than two of whom may be of the same political party, that the candidate is physically or mentally incapacitated to an extent that would in the panel's judgment prevent the candidate from active service during the term of office if elected. The director shall place the name of the person nominated by party petition on the general election ballot. The name of a candidate disqualified under this section may not appear on the general election ballot.

  • The guy running against stevens is a extremely popular former mayor of the capital. He was already running neck and neck with stevens who had the machine behind him. The republicans will be forced to grab someone off the street. It was going to be close before and now with the republicans coming off a scandal. It's not going to be pretty. Alaska going blue?
  • Awesome. This couldn't have happened to a more corrupt series of tubes.
  • I remember reading something a while back about the Alaska Republican party being a big family. Big family as in everyone is related to everyone else. Is there any truth to that?
