She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

    But Republicans vote consistently for candidates they dislike or even hate just to beat Democrats. Now, that’s just not true. The Republicans lose elections because of in-fighting too. For example, they lost the most recent election for House in Alaska to a Democrat because Begich voters didn’t want to consolidate behind Palin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Alaska's_at-large_congressional_district_special_election

      The exception that proves the rule, maybe? That election was the first to use Ranked Choice for congressional offices in Alaska. FPPT voting is a powerful thing, which is why Republicans try to stop alternatives such as Ranked Choice.

      Edit to fix unclear final sentence.
