Alaska's ranked-choice voting - Racial justice mortgage plan - California nuclear plant

Former state Rep. Mary Peltola defeated two opponents with better funding and recognition [former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich, both Republicans] to become the next member of Congress from the state. She will be the first Democrat elected to that seat in nearly 50 years. She is also the first Native Alaskan to represent the state in Congress.

This was the first election cycle since Alaska switched to a new voting system using ranked choice voting on the general election ballot. Instead of selecting a single candidate, voters rank candidates by preference; if no candidate wins an outright majority, then the lowest performer is eliminated, and that candidate's votes are tallied again with their second choice counted first.
...
Peltola won the first round of voting, but Palin and Begich [had nearly 60% of the vote combined]. Only half of Begich's voters picked Palin as their second choice: Nearly three out of ten chose Peltola second. After all second choices were counted, Peltola prevailed over Palin, 52-49.
