Democrat Mary Peltola won the special election to fill Alaska’s only seat in the House of Representatives, making her the first Alaskan to serve in the House and the first woman elected to the state House. Alaska’s House seat was held for 49 years by Republican Don Young before he died in March. Ms. Palin, a former Republican governor of the state, lost with 48.53 percent of the vote to 51.47 percent. While she lost her 2008 vice-presidential bid to John McCain—an election won by Barack Obama, with Joe Biden as vice president—she became notorious for her outspoken, anti-Washington elite approach, which connected with many on the Republican right. But she was attacked by the media after a series of interviews and debates in which commentators accused her of not fully understanding the necessary details of the issues she was asked about. The Tea Party movement, in which he was later heavily involved, is sometimes seen as the precursor to the Trumpism that is now firmly embedded as a wing of the Republican party.

Nearly 20% of the population in Alaska is Native American, the highest percentage in the United States. The election was the first to be held under the state’s new “ranked choice” system, with voters listing candidates in order of preference on the ballot. A candidate must win 50% of the vote to be declared the winner. The winner of the special election will serve out Mr. Young’s term, which was set to end at the end of this year. Ms. Palin is set to make another attempt on Nov. 8 to fill the seat for the next two years, when she will again face Ms. Peltola and also Republican Nick Begich III.
