Did Sarah Palin get a majority of the popular vote in the 2006 Alaska Governor election?

Question

definition of majority: The amount by which the greater number of votes cast, as in an election, exceeds the total number of remaining votes.

Answer 1

Probably since most states do not have the equivalency of an Electoral College.

Answer 2

Looking at the official results, it appears to be so.

Are you implying there is some sort of "electoral college" within the state?  Does any state have such a thing?  (I am being sincere, I've never heard of this kind of thing - so I cannot say it doesn't exist just because I've never heard of it)

It is clear that she received the most votes.

Answer 3

NOPE

Answer 4

Yes she did.

Answer 5

yes she had an 80% approval rate. Beat that obama

Answer 6

She got the job, didn't she?

Answer 7

So 51.67% of Alaska voters wanted someone else.  Doesn't sound like a majority to me.

Answer 8

No, but as was pointed out last night, she got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla Alaska than Joe Biden did running for President of the United States.  Worry about your guy.

Answer 9

There were six tickets running for Governor (not including write0in votes).  She won with 48.33%
