Sen. Lisa Murkowski Secret Support of Ranked Voting EXPOSED "She stayed quiet...She supports it”

BREAKING: Staffers Claim Sen. Lisa Murkowski Secretly Supported Ranked Voting System in Alaska to Ensure Election Victory ... ‘She Stayed Quiet and Honestly it was Probably Best She Stayed Quiet on That’ ... ‘Behind Closed Doors We'll Have Talks’

• Josiah Nash, Murkowski Campaign Interior Coordinator: “She stayed quiet” but “she supports it, yeah.”
• Nash: “Between you and me, Ballot Measure 2 [Ranked Voting System] was actually created -- I think it was created for two reasons. Number one, it was created because there were people in this state who wanted to see a better system, but they also wanted Lisa [Murkowski] to get re-elected.”
• Nash: “We’re being strategic with our messaging. Walking a fine line, I guess is what I’m saying, to try to get her elected.”
• Emma Ashlock, Murkowski Campaign Coordinator: “While we were working on Ballot Measure 2 and voting for Ballot Measure 2, we had Senator Murkowski in mind the whole time.”
• Ashlock: “I think she [Sen. Murkowski] technically stayed neutral [on Ballot Measure 2], but like, behind the scenes…”
• Ashlock: “I know a lot of people who were working on Ballot Measure 2 … have worked for Senator Murkowski.”

[ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Aug. 10, 2022] Project Veritas Action released a new video today exposing two paid staff members for Senator Lisa Murkowski’s re-election campaign in Alaska.

In the video, Josiah Nash, who works as the campaign’s Interior Coordinator, is recorded admitting that while Sen. Murkowski was publicly neutral, she secretly supported the implementation of a ranked voting system in Alaska because that is her route to victory.

“She stayed quiet and honestly it was probably best she stayed quiet on that,” Nash said, adding that “she supports it, yeah.”

“You’re not going to see the campaign come out and necessarily support progressive things. I mean, behind closed doors we’ll have talks…” Nash continued. “We’re being strategic with our messaging. Walking a fine line, I guess is what I’m saying, to try to get her elected,” he said.

Nash suggests Measure 2 was not honestly presented to Alaskans and helps progressive candidates.

“They framed it [Ballot Measure 2] basically, you know, ‘This gives you more choice’ -- ‘This makes it so we have better candidates.’ And I think it helps progressive candidates…If it was [called] a progressive measure, it wouldn’t really work,” he said.

Another paid Murkowski campaign official, Emma Ashlock, echoed Nash’s comments; admitting on camera that Ballot Measure 2 secretly benefited Sen. Murkowski and that several people who currently work in the Murkowski campaign were previously involved in passing Ballot Measure 2. One of those people is Shea Siegert, Murkowski’s Comms Director.

“I know a lot of people who were working on Ballot Measure 2. I don’t think Shea has ever worked for Senator Murkowski [before], but I know a lot of other people who worked on that have worked for Senator Murkowski,” she said.

“While we were working on Ballot Measure 2 and voting for Ballot Measure 2, we had Senator Murkowski in mind the whole time,” Ashlock said.

Nash echoed a similar sentiment, “Between you and me, Ballot Measure 2 [Ranked Voting System] was actually created -- I think it was created for two reasons. Number one, it was created because there were people in this state who wanted to see a better system, but they also wanted Lisa [Murkowski] to get re-elected.”

Ashlock also suggested that Murkowski, a Republican, benefits from Democrats voting in the primary.

“From our data guys, Tyler and Roman, they say the race is gonna come down to Kelly Tshibaka and Senator Murkowski. So, anyone who votes for Pat Chesbro first and ranks Senator Murkowski second, that vote is gonna become a vote for Senator Murkowski… Every single Pat Chesbro voter who ranks Senator Murkowski second, we get their votes. If we can get people to do that, then we have it in the bag,” she said.

“I think she [Sen. Murkowski] technically stayed neutral [on Ballot Measure 2], but like, behind the scenes…”
